About this book
Reviews
“This book contains both Siegel’s original paper in German and an English translation. … this is a fundamental paper, well worth reading. … It will be of great interest to mathematicians working in transcendence theory and Diophantine approximation, and to anyone interested in the history of mathematics in the early 20th century.” (Fernando Q. Gouvêa, MAA Reviews, June, 2015)
