Reviews

'... the book is very interesting and well written. It contains the motivational material necessary for those entering in the field of discriminant equations and succeeds to bring the reader to the forefront of research. Graduates and researchers in the field of number theory will find it a very valuable resource.' Dimitros Poulakis, Zentralblatt MATH

Author Information

Jan-Hendrik Evertse works in the Mathematical Institute at Leiden University. His research concentrates on Diophantine approximation and applications to Diophantine problems. In this area he has obtained some influential results, in particular on estimates for the numbers of solutions of Diophantine equations and inequalities. Kálmán Győry is Professor Emeritus at the University of Debrecen, a member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and a well-known researcher in Diophantine number theory. Over his career he has obtained several significant and pioneering results, among others on unit equations and decomposable form equations, and their various applications. Győry is also the founder and leader of the Number Theory Research Group in Debrecen, which consists of his former students and their descendants.
