There seems to be some confusion about the theorem Peter McBurney asked about.

The reference he cited was by Felix E. BROWDER (1960) who proved a number of fixed point results of considerable interest to functional analysts.

The theorem the list seems to be discussing is due to BROUWER (Math. Ann. 69(1910) and 71(1912).

No, there is no confusion. Browder's theorem appears to provide insight into the constructive content of Brouwer's theorem. Both are being discussed. Steve Vickers.
