View full threadBorn in the German city of Breslau, in Lower Silesia (now Wroclaw in Poland), Roth died in Inverness, aged 90. He joined @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social in 1966 and remained there until his retirement. He was appointed a Fellow in 1999.
- Roth's niece, Cléa Daridan, said on 100th anniversary of his birth: Read more about Klaus Friedrich Roth ⬇️ www.imperial.ac.uk/news/169476/... @imperialmaths.bsky.social
- He was elected to membership of the London Mathematical Society in 1951 and awarded the De Morgan Medal in 1983.
- He made fundamental contributions to different areas of number theory, including Diophantine approximation, the large sieve, irregularities of distribution and arithmetic combinatorics.
