Minor changes.
Aug 30, 2010 at 14:01 comment added Pierre-Yves Gaillard Thanks a lot!!! I've just added Atiyah-MacDonald's formulation, which is extremely concise, and doesn't even use any indeterminate. If you read the two pages I link to, you'll see that I just rephrased (hopefully without introducing mistakes) what they wrote.

Added "Atiyah-MacDonald's formulation".
Aug 30, 2010 at 13:06 comment added darij grinberg Nice coordinate version. Up to now, the most readable of all.

Added reference to Atiyah-MacDonald.

Jul 26, 2010 at 19:37 comment added darij grinberg Don't know. I think I used to prove it by graph theory when I first learnt about it, but this is far from a proof I would like to write up.
Jul 20, 2010 at 11:13 comment added Pierre-Yves Gaillard Dear darij grinberg: Thank you for your interest! How would YOU prove the theorem?
Jul 20, 2010 at 11:00 comment added darij grinberg Okay, I think I've got it. No, the books that I know do not present this in a clearer way.
Jul 20, 2010 at 10:34 comment added Pierre-Yves Gaillard Dear darij grinberg: For the meaning of $e\chi$: $H$ is a right $M_n(K[X])$-module and $\chi$ is in $K[X]\subset M_n(K[X])$. I think the argument is a pain to understand because I'm not explaining it well. Clearly presented, it would look very easy, I believe.
Jul 20, 2010 at 10:25 comment added darij grinberg (For some reason, it seems to me that every proof of Cayley-Hamilton is either a pain to write - like the Zariski-based and the graph-theoretical ones - or a pain to understand - like yours and any other of the short arguments...)
Jul 20, 2010 at 10:23 comment added darij grinberg Okay, next: what does $e\chi $ mean? There is a type mismatch in here.
Jul 20, 2010 at 10:19 comment added Pierre-Yves Gaillard Dear darij grinberg: How would you call it?
Jul 20, 2010 at 10:17 comment added darij grinberg Ah, so that' what you mean by evaluation at $A$!
Jul 20, 2010 at 10:15 comment added Pierre-Yves Gaillard Dear darij grinberg: It maps $X^i v$ in $K[X]^n=K^n[X]$ to $A^i v$ in $K^n$. (Here $v$ is in $K^n$.)
Jul 20, 2010 at 10:09 comment added darij grinberg Why does it map $K[X]^n$ to $K^n$ ? Shouldn't it map $K[X]^n$ to $\left(\mathrm M_n\left(K\right)\right)^n$ ?
Jul 20, 2010 at 10:09 comment added Pierre-Yves Gaillard Dear darij grinberg: Because it maps $K[X]^n$ to $K^n$ and is $K[X]$-linear.
Jul 20, 2010 at 9:58 comment added darij grinberg Why is your $e$ in $H$?
