Extract

Every real number α admits many rational approximations in the sense that for every natural number q,

for some integer p. Perhaps surprisingly, numbers α which have k distinct rational approximations with given denominators q1,…,qk,

for a fixed ε > 0, are quite sparse; their measure in U = [0,1) is at most C(ε)/k.
