Abstract
The fundamental theorem of algebra (FTA) is an important theorem in algebra. This theorem asserts that the complex field is algebracially closed. This thesis will include historical research of proofs of the fundamental theorem of algebra and provide information about the first proof given by Gauss of the theorem and the time when it was proved.
