Rezensionen

"A remarkable feature of this book is that it starts at a basic level, introducing the fundamental concepts from scratch, without proofs for the classical ones but with relevant references to more basic books for complete proofs. The authors reach gradually the most advanced recent results on qualitative and quantitative relations of algebraic numbers distributed in spaces." Zentralblatt für Mathematik
