Description
The course gives a brief introduction into modern theory of Diophantine Approximation.Together with classical and basic facts we will deal with some recent results in the topic and discuss some unsolved problems. The course is devoted to several important one-and multi-dimensional problems in Diophantine Approximation We will study different continued fractions algorithms, methods of Geometry of Numbers, metrical Number Theory and related topics. Among the problems under consideration we deal with Diophantine spectra, uniform approximation, irrationality measure functions and approximation in higher dimensions.
Prerequisite
Standard undergraduate courses in calculus, linear algebra and basic course in elementary Number Theory.
