This is some material that used to be in the complex number article, but I felt an entire article on the fundamental theorem of algebra would be the better place for it. However all I did was cut and paste from there to here, so this article doesn't have a good structure yet.

W.l.o.g.

What does this mean?--Paul Wormer 21:12, 13 March 2008 (CDT)

Also "counting multiplicity" - I'm guessing that it means that Tp=Tq (e.g. in (x + 2)(x + 2)), but you ought to say that explicitly. Other than that, great intro - crystal clear. J. Noel Chiappa 09:59, 14 March 2008 (CDT)
