By Schinzel A.
Andrzej Schinzel, born in 1937, is a number one quantity theorist whose paintings has had a long-lasting impression on glossy arithmetic. he's the writer of over 2 hundred examine articles in quite a few branches of arithmetics, together with simple, analytic, and algebraic quantity thought. He has additionally been, for almost forty years, the editor of Acta Arithmetica, the 1st overseas magazine dedicated solely to quantity idea. Selecta, a two-volume set, comprises Schinzel's most crucial articles released among 1955 and 2006.
