Abstract
We construct a number system that is isomorphic to the factor ring of an arbitrary polynomial. If this polynomial is the minimal polynomial of a given linear operator, then its generalized spectral decomposition is immediately determined. The same methods apply to a linear operator over a finite field. Clifford algebra arises when we introduce a grading onto the algebra of endomorphisms.
