Re: trigonalisable matrix question

A have the following question: Is it true that in M_n(R) not every matrix is
trigonalisable.

Of course it's true, since trigonalisable => it has some eigenvalue.

Indeed, given a field F, F is algebraically closed iff for each natural
number _n_, every matrix of M_n(F) is trigonalisable.
