Extract

It was proved recently by Roth that if α is any real algebraic number, and κ > 2, then the inequality

has only a finite number of solutions in integers h and q, where q > 0 and (h, q) = 1. This remarkable result answered finally a question which had been only partially answered by the work of Thue and Siegel.
