This book is a survey of the most important directions of research in transcendental number theory - the theory of irrationality, transcendence, and algebraic independence of various numbers. There is a special emphasis on the transcendence properties of the values of special functions. The book contains few complete proofs, but rather gives conceptual discussions of the central ideas behind the proofs. For a reader who has no specific background in transcendental number theory the book provides both an overview of the basic concepts and techniques and also a guide to the most important results and references.
This book was written over a period of more than six years. Several months after we finished our work, N.1. Fel'dman (the senior author of the book) died. All additions and corrections entered after his death were made by his coauthor. The assistance of many of our colleagues was invaluable during the writing of the book. They examined parts of the manuscript and suggested many improvements, made useful comments and corrected many errors. I much have pleasure in acknowledging our great indebtedness to them. Special thanks are due to A. B. Shidlovskii, V. G. Chirskii, A.1. Galochkin and O. N. Vasilenko. I would like to express my gratitude to D. Bertrand and J. Wolfart for their help in the final stages of this book. Finally, I wish to thank Neal Koblitz for having translated this text into English. August 1997 Yu. V.Nesterenko Transcendental Numbers N.1.
