	Niels Henrik Abel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Abel's first notable work was a proof of the impossibility of solving the quintic equation by radicals (see Abel-Ruffini theorem.) This investigation was first published in 1824 in abstruse and difficult form, and afterwards (1826) more elaborately in the first volume of Crelle's Journal.
		In 1826 Abel moved to Paris, and during a ten month stay he met the leading mathematicians of France; but he was poorly appreciated, as his work was scarcely known, and his modesty restrained him from proclaiming his researchings.
		Under Abel's guidance, the prevailing obscurities of analysis began to be cleared, new fields were entered upon and the study of functions so advanced as to provide mathematicians with numerous ramifications along which progress could be made.

	Paolo Ruffini History Summary
		Ruffini himself was such a talented student that he took over instruction of Cassiani's foundations of analysis course when the latter had to take a leave of absence in 1787.
		Ruffini is also credited with developing the theory of substitutions, vital to the theory of equations, which in turn helped lay the foundations for group theory.
		Ruffini also contributed to the development of group theory, and was known for his work as a philosopher and physician.

	Paolo Ruffini Biography / Biography of Paolo Ruffini World of Mathematics Biography
		Ruffini continued to practice medicine and conduct mathematical research, and during this time published what later became known as the Abel-Ruffini theorem, which stated that a general algebraic equation of greater than the fourth degree could not be solved using only radicals, such as square roots, cube roots, etc.
		Ruffini later developed the basic rule for determining the quotient and the remainder resulting from the division of a polynomial in the variable x by a binomial of the form x-a, using approximation by means of infinite algorithms.
		Ruffini was relieved of his post in 1798 and returned to scientific research, but was banned from teaching or holding a public office after he refused to swear an oath of allegiance to the republic, citing religious reasons.

	Ruffini, Paolo
		Ruffini made a substantial contribution to the theory of equations, developing the so-called theory of substitutions, which was the forerunner of modern group theory.
		Ruffini was born in Valentano, Viterbo, and studied at Modena.
		He published a theorem stating that it was impossible to give a general solution to equations of greater than the fourth degree using only radicals (such as square roots, cube roots, and so on).

	Eigenvalue, eigenvector and eigenspace - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The simplest case in which the theorem is valid is the case where the linear transformation is given by a real symmetric matrix or complex Hermitian matrix.
		In its simplest version, the spectral theorem states that, under precise conditions, a linear transformation of a vector can be expressed as the linear combination of the eigenvectors with coefficients equal to the eigenvalues times the scalar product (or dot product) of the eigenvectors with the vector on which the transformation is applied.
		The decomposition theorem is a version of the spectral theorem in the particular case of matrices.

	Polynomial - Wikipedia
		In 1824, Abel proved the striking result that there can be no general formula (involving only the arithmetical operations and radicals) for the roots of a polynomial of degree ≥ 5 in terms of its coefficients (see [[Abel-Ruffini theorem]]).
		The culmination of these efforts is Taylors theorem, which roughly states that every differentiable function locally looks like a polynomial, and the Weierstrass approximation theorem, which states that every continuous function defined on a compact interval of the real axis can be approximated on the whole interval as closely as desired by a polynomial.
		If however the set of allowed candidates is expanded to the complex numbers, every (non-constant) polynomial has a root (see Fundamental Theorem of Algebra).

	math lessons - Eigenvalue
		The Abel-Ruffini theorem implies that there is no general algorithm for finding the zeros of the characteristic polynomial.
		The fundamental theorem of algebra says that this equation has at least one solution, so every matrix has at least one eigenvalue.
		Note that by the closed graph theorem, if a bounded operator has an inverse, the inverse is necessarily bounded.

	abel 1
		Abel (Hebrew for breath) was the second son of Adam, slain by Cain, his elder brother.
		Abel has been viewed as the first martyr, as the first human to die.
		The comparison is often seen as that between the sacrifice offered by Christ and that offered by Abel, but some believe it compares the blood of Christ calling for mercy and the blood of the murdered Abel calling for vengeance.

		The theorem had been formulated by Fermat but it was demonstrated by Leonhard Euler (1707-1783) at about one hundred years later.
		These notes contain the ``treasures'' (it was Bolyai's way of naming his newly discovered theorems) that have been brought to light by the research works of recent years.
		His manuscripts attest to the fact that he successfully corrected Ruffini's mistake and proved that such equations cannot be solved.

	Matrix eigenvalue problem
		If there did exist a finite sequence of arithmetic operations for exactly finding the eigenvalues of a general matrix, this would provide a corresponding finite sequence for general polynomials, in contradiction of the Abel-Ruffini theorem.
		A general polynomial of order n > 4 cannot be solved by a finite sequence of arithmetic operations and radicals (See Abel-Ruffini theorem).
		It can be shown that for any polynomial, there exists a matrix (see companion matrix) having that polynomial as its characteristic polynomial (actually, there are infinitely many).

		When Abel-Ruffini Theorem proved the impossibility of solving univariate polynomials with the classical notion of ``solving'', the way of getting out of this impasse was Kronecker's solution to interpret ``solving'' via the theory of algebraic extensions as producing programs which compute with the roots of a polynomial equation.

		The recent break-through of Computer Algebra in solving polynomial equation systems is based on following Kronecker's approach as much as possible.
