Conclusion: read this one! (??lvaro Lozano-Robledo, MathDL, January, 2006)pOne of the goals of the authors is to provide the reader with an intuitive framework in which the major classical results of transcendental number theory can be appreciated. ??? This book is an introduction to the subject which is supposed to enable the reader to pursue later his study with more modern results. ??? An appendix provides basic facts from complex analysis which are required for the proofs. This book is aimed at beginners who like to have examples and detailed proofs. (Zentralblatt MATH, August, 2005)While the theory of transcendental numbers is a fundamental and important branch of number theory, most mathematicians know only its most elementary results.
