This book is a survey of the most important directions of research in transcendental number theory. The central topics in this theory include proofs of irrationality and transcendence of various numbers，especially those，that arise as the values of special functions. Questions of this sort go back to ancient times. An example is the old problem of squaring the circle，which Lindemann showed to bc im...... 更多
