| Citation | Baker has made fundamental contributions to the theory of Diophantine approximations of wide applicability in the Theory of Numbers. Among the important consequences the best known is his discovery of effective bounds for the integer solutions of an extensive class of Diophantine equations. Hitherto practically no 'effective' methods were known in this connection, and Baker's work provides a major breakthrough with a central problem of long standing. Baker was awarded a Fields Medal at the International Congress of Mathematicians, 1970. |
