Abstract
As is well known, the rank of a diagonalizable complex matrix can be characterized as the maximum order of the nonzero principal minors of this matrix. The standard proof of this fact is based on representing the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial as the (alternating) sums of all the principal minors of appropriate order. We show that in the case of normal matrices, one can give a simple direct proof, not relying on those representations. Bibliography: 2 titles.
