The first part of the book presents the elementary facts of algebraic geometry essential to understanding the rest of it. The second half of the book considers the evolution of the theory of Diophantine equations from the Renaissance to the middle of the 20th century. In particular, the book include

<p>"This book by a leading researcher and masterly expositor of the subject studies diophantine approximations to algebraic numbers and their applications to diophantine equations. The methods are classical, and the results stressed can be obtained without much background in algebraic geometry. In p
Harold Davenport was one of the truly great mathematicians of the twentieth century. Based on lectures he gave at the University of Michigan in the early 1960s, this book is concerned with the use of analytic methods in the study of integer solutions to Diophantine equations and Diophantine inequali
