One question addressed in the field of Diophantine approximation is precisely quantifying how many "good" approximations an algebraic number has by rational numbers. This is answered most soundly by a 1955 theorem of Klaus Roth. In this talk, I will cover this theorem, some related results and hint at how it can be used to bound the number of rational solutions to curves.
