Pillars of Transcendental Number TheoryThis book deals with the development of Diophantine problems starting with Thue's path breaking result and culminating in Roth's theorem with applications. It discusses classical results including HermiteLindemannWeierstrass theorem, GelfondSchneider theorem, Schmidts subspace theorem and more. It also includes two theorems of Ramachandra which are not widely known and other interesting results derived on the values of Weierstrass elliptic function.
