Alan Baker ,FRS, is Emeritus Professor of Pure Mathematics in the University of Cambridge and Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge. He has received numerous international awards, including, in 1970, a Fields medal for his work in number theory. This is his third authored book: he has edited four others for publication.
"This book gives the necessary intuitive background to study the
original journal articles of Baker, Masser, Wüstholz and
others..."
