The purpose of this paper is to give a new, self-contained and elementary proof of the following result: Theorem. Let \(Y\) be a real algebraic subset of \(\mathbb{R}^m\) and \(F:Y\to\mathbb{R}^n\) be a polynomial map. Then there exist real polynomials \(g_1(y), \dots, g_s(y)\) on \(\mathbb{R}^n\) such that the Euler characteristic of fibres of \(F\) is the sum of signs of \(g_i\), that is \[ \chi \bigl(F^{-1}(y) \bigr)=\text{sgn} g_1(y)+\cdots+\text{sgn} g_s(y). \] For the entire collection see [Zbl 0906.00013].
