This interesting book is centered on a single topic, namely, the fundamental theorem of algebra. The authors give six different proofs of the fundamental theorem of algebra in the main body of the text and six more versions in the appendices. The proofs in the appendices differ from those in the main body of the text. The proofs use techniques from analysis, algebra, and topology. The book can be used as a text in several ways, as pointed out by the authors. It can be used as a capstone course for upper level undergraduates, a summary course for upper level undergraduates, or as a reference book for beginning graduate students. Another possibility is to use the book, along with some supplementary material, as text for a modern algebra course at the undergraduate level. The book uses polynomials, complex analysis and analytic functions, complex integration, Cauchy's theorem, field extensions, Galois theory, topology, and algebraic topology. The book also contains historical comments in the introduction. I believe most mathematicians will want to include this book in their personal library.
