Abstract

In this note, we study zeroes of Clifford algebra-valued polynomials. We prove that if such a polynomial has only real coefficients, then it has two types of zeroes: the real isolated zeroes  and the spherical conjugate ones. The total number of zeroes does not exceed the degree of the polynomial. We also present a technique for computing the zeroes.
