Roots and polynomials as homeomorphic spaces

We provide a unified, elementary, topological approach to the classical results stating the continuity of the complex roots of a polynomial with respect to its coefficients, and the continuity of the coefficients with respect to the roots. In fact, endowing the space of monic polynomials of a fixed degree $n$ and the space of $n$ roots with suitable topologies, we are able to formulate the classical theorems in the form of a homeomorphism. Related topological facts are also considered.
