This book consists mainly of the translation, by C. Fuchs, of the
1929 landmark paper "UEber einige Anwendungen diophantischer
Approximationen" by C.L. Siegel. The paper contains proofs of most
important results in transcendence theory and diophantine analysis,
notably Siegel's celebrated theorem on integral points on algebraic
curves. Many modern versions of Siegel's proof have appeared, but
none seem to faithfully reproduce all features of the original one.
This translation makes Siegel's original ideas and proofs available
for the first time in English. The volume also contains the
original version of the paper (in German) and an article by the
translator and U. Zannier, commenting on some aspects of the
evolution of this field following Siegel's paper. To end, it
presents three modern proofs of Siegel's theorem on integral
points.
