Copyright concerns
[edit]Given the history of contributions, I have reason to believe that this is copied from Burhman. Undoubtedly part of this text is duplicated at this source, which predates our publication by years. A google search, here, is instructive. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:19, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
I took a look at the sources referenced by Moonriddengirl and did not find any evidence of plagiarism. --Beastinwith (talk) 17:32, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
Accuracy concerns
[edit]I believe that the statement about multilinear polynomials being zero if they are zero for any set of vectors spanning the space is incorrect. (It's true for linear polynomials.) For example, the binary multilinear polynomial x_1 * x_2 * ... * x_n is zero for any choice of x_i = 1 and all other x_k = 0, but the polynomial is not zero. --Beastinwith (talk) 17:32, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
