Diophantine Analysis: Proceedings at the Number Theory Section of the 1985 Australian Mathematical Society Convention

The papers in this volume, which were presented at the 1985 Australian Mathematical Society convention, survey recent work in Diophantine analysis. The contributors are leading mathematicians in the world, and their articles are state of the art accounts, many of which include open problems pointing the way to further research. The contributions will be of general interest to number theorists and of particular interest to workers in transcendence theory, Diophantine approximation and exponential sums.

Nine papers survey recent work in several important areas of Diophantine analysis. Topics include the distribution of prime numbers, the solution of congruences in several variables and an algebraic geometry approach to transcendence theory.
