Jun 4, 2018 at 11:57 comment added darij grinberg Suggestion: Nakayama's determinant trick :) Not a big deal, but I've gotten used to seeing at least one determinantal trick per proof, and those aren't all the same.
Jun 4, 2018 at 11:50 comment added Neil Strickland @darijgrinberg Matsumura calls that result Nakayama's Lemma, but many other people use that name just for the statement $\mathfrak{m}M=M\Rightarrow M=0$. I am no historian and do not really have an opinion.
