Pro<strong>of</strong>. Let<br />

p(z) = anz n +···+a1z +a0<br />

with an �= 0, and let g(z) := anzn � �<br />

�<br />

, so that lim �<br />

p(z)−g(z) �<br />

�<br />

|z|→∞�<br />

g(z) � = 0. Choose R > 0<br />

such that � �<br />

��� p(z)−g(z) �<br />

�<br />

g(z) � < 1<br />

for z ∈ C with |z|≥ R. Consequently, if z ∈ ∂BR(0), we have |p(z)−g(z)|< |g(z)|.<br />

By Rouché’s Theorem, p thus has as many zeros in BR(0) as g, namely n. Since p<br />

has at most n zeros, these are all <strong>of</strong> the zeros <strong>of</strong> p.<br />
