\begin{proof}
Since $k$ is algebraically closed we have $\kappa(\mathfrak m) = k$.
We may choose a presentation
$0 \to I \to k[x_1, \ldots, x_n] \to S \to 0$ such that
all $x_i$ end up in $\mathfrak m$. Write $I = (f_1, \ldots, f_m)$.
Note that each $f_i$ is contained in $(x_1, \ldots, x_n)$, i.e., each
$f_i$ has zero constant term. Hence we may write
$$
f_j = \sum a_{ij} x_i + \text{h.o.t.}
$$
By Lemma \ref{lemma-differential-seq} there is an exact sequence
$$
\bigoplus S \cdot f_j
\to
\bigoplus S \cdot \text{d}x_i
\to
\Omega_{S/k}
\to
0.
$$
Tensoring with $\kappa(\mathfrak m) = k$ we get
an exact sequence
$$
\bigoplus k \cdot f_j
\to
\bigoplus k \cdot \text{d}x_i
\to
\Omega_{S/k} \otimes \kappa(\mathfrak m)
\to
0.
$$
The matrix of the map is given by the partial derivatives of
the $f_j$ evaluated at $0$. In other words by the matrix $(a_{ij})$.
Similarly there is a short exact sequence
Consider the exact sequence
$$
(f_1, \ldots, f_m)/(x_1 f_1, \ldots, x_n f_m)
\to
(x_1, \ldots, x_n)/(x_1, \ldots, x_n)^2
\to
\mathfrak m/\mathfrak m^2
\to
0.
\mathfrak m/\mathfrak m^2 \to
\Omega_{S/k} \otimes_S \kappa(\mathfrak m) \to
\Omega_{\kappa(\mathfrak m)/k} \to 0
$$
Note that the first map is given by expanding the $f_j$
in terms of the $x_i$, i.e., by the same matrix $(a_{ij})$.
Hence the two numbers are the same.
of Lemma \ref{lemma-differential-seq}. We would like to show that the
first map is an isomorphism. Since $k$ is algebraically closed the
composition $k \to \kappa(\mathfrak m)$ is an isomorphism by
Theorem \ref{theorem-nullstellensatz}.
So the surjection $S \to \kappa(\mathfrak m)$ splits as a map of
$k$-algebras, and Lemma \ref{lemma-differential-seq-split} shows
that the sequence above is exact
on the left. Since $\Omega_{\kappa(\mathfrak m)/k} = 0$, we win.
