Commutative Algebra, chapter V, § 1. Notion of an integral element
Let be an integral domain and its integral closure. Then the integral closure of the polynomial ring is .
Arguing by induction on , the problem is immediately reduced to the case . Let be the field of fractions of , which is also that of ; if an element of the field of fractions of is integral over , it belongs to the polynomial ring , for the latter is a principal ideal domain (Algebra, Chapter IV, § 1, no. 5, Proposition 7) and hence integrally closed (Proposition 10); the corollary then follows from Proposition 13 applied to .
Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
