Abel's Theorem - Outline of Proof

Outline of Proof

After subtracting a constant from, we may assume that . Let . Then substituting and performing a simple manipulation of the series results in

Given, pick n large enough so that for all and note that

when z lies within the given Stoltz angle. Whenever z is sufficiently close to 1 we have

so that when z is both sufficiently close to 1 and within the Stoltz angle.

Famous quotes containing the words outline of, outline and/or proof:

    I am fooling only myself when I say my mother exists now only in the photograph on my bulletin board or in the outline of my hand or in the armful of memories I still hold tight. She lives on in everything I do. Her presence influenced who I was, and her absence influences who I am. Our lives are shaped as much by those who leave us as they are by those who stay. Loss is our legacy. Insight is our gift. Memory is our guide.
    Hope Edelman (20th century)

    A true poem is distinguished not so much by a felicitous expression, or any thought it suggests, as by the atmosphere which surrounds it.

    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The fact that several men were able to become infatuated with that latrine is truly the proof of the decline of the men of this century.
    Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
