The leading idea of the paper is to treat the theorem of Wigner with methods inspired by geometry. The exercise mentionned in the title has two functions: On the one hand it can serve as a pedagogical text in order to make the reader…

After reviewing Bertini's life story, a fascinating drama, we make a critical examination of the old statements and proofs of Bertini's two fundamental theorems, the theorem on variable singular points and the theorem on reducible linear…

Equations are ubiquitous in most mathematical activities. Nevertheless, in this paper it is shown how to do standard mathematics without any equation at all. More than that, it is proven there is a foundational framework for standard…

In this note we give two proofs of Brooks' Theorem. The first is obtained by modifying an earlier proof and the second by combining two earlier proofs. We believe these proofs are easier to teach in Computer Science courses.

This paper presents a novel direct elementary proof for Fermat's Last Theorem. We use algebra, modular math, and binomial series to develop inherent mathematical relationships hidden within Fermat's Last Theorem. With these derived…

I give a simpler proof of the generalisation of Engel's Theorem to Leibniz algebras.

We show an explicit formula, with a quite easy deduction, for the exponential matrix $e^{tA}$ of a real square matrix $A$ of order $n\times n$. The elementary method developed requires neither Jordan canonical form, nor eigenvectors, nor…

We give an elementary and constructive proof for a theorem of de Smit et Lenstra. Note: In version 1, was missing the proof that "completely secant" implies "1-secant"

The Rado-Horn theorem provides necessary and sufficient conditions for when a collection of vectors can be partitioned into a fixed number of linearly independent sets. Such partitions exist if and only if every subset of the vectors…

In this article using elementary school level Geometry we observe an alternative proof of Pythagorean Theorem from Heron's Formula.

This paper contains a new elementary proof of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus for the Lebesgue integral. The hardest part of our proof simply concerns the convergence in ${\rm L}^1$ of a certain sequence of step functions, and we prove…

We give an elementary probabilistic proof of a binomial identity. The proof is obtained by computing the probability of a certain event in two different ways, yielding two different expressions for the same quantity.

We present a simple method to obtain the solution of a few orbital problems: the Kepler problem, the modified Kepler problem by the addition of an inverse square potential and linear force.

After Abel Ruffini theorem and Galois Theory the search for a method or formula to solve quintic equation ends. This paper discuss about the radical solution of quintic equation using a method that could be proved in some simple steps. A…

In this paper we give an elementary proof of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra for polynomials over the rational tropical semi-ring. We prove that, tropically, the rational numbers are algebraically closed. We provide a simple algorithm…

The celebrated Wedderburn-Artin theorem states that a simple left artinian ring is isomorphic to the ring of matrices over a division ring. We give a short and self-contained proof which avoids the use of modules.

Main Theorem. Two parabols have four common points. There exists a circle tangent to the sides of the obtained parabolic quadrilateral if and only if the diagonals of this quadrilateral are orthogonal. The proof of the Main Theorem is…

We give a short proof of Stein's universal multiplier theorem, purely by probabilistic methods, thus avoiding any use of harmonic analysis techniques (complex interpolation or transference methods).

The celebrated theorem of Feuerbach states that the nine-point circle of a nonequilateral triangle is tangent to both its incircle and its three excircles. In this note, we give a simple proof of Feuerbach's Theorem using straightforward…

D'Alembert made the first serious attempt to prove the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra (FTA) in 1746. An elementary proof of (FTA) based on the same idea is given in Proofs from THE BOOK. We give a shorter and more transperant version of…
