Abstract
dc:description.abstractThe theory of metric Diophantine approximation can be studied from many di�erent perspectives. The problems studied in this thesis all concern questions on integer polynomials. Simultaneous rational approximation to integer polynomials is studied in the p-adic metric. Next, the nature of the closest root to an argument of a leading polynomial is studied in the Euclidian and p-adic metrics. Finally the nature of regular systems for third degree polynomials is investigated.
