The papers in this volume, which were presented at the 1985 Australian Mathematical Society convention, survey recent work in Diophantine analysis. The contributors are leading mathematicians in the world, and their articles are state of the art accounts, many of which include open problems pointing the way to further research. The contributions will be of general interest to number theorists and of particular interest to workers in transcendence theory, Diophantine approximation and exponential sums.

Government enquiries, research studies and media reports have begun to highlight the widespread nature of sexual, physical and emotional abuse of vulnerable children and young people. However, while public attention has focused on ’episodic-dramatic’ representations of institutional abuse, comparatively little emphasis has been given to the more mundane, routinized and systemic nature of abuse that has occurred.
