He was awarded the eighth Frank Nelson Cole Prize in Number Theory for work on He is known for his subspace theorem. In 1960, he proved that every normal number in base r is normal in base s if and only if log r / log s is a rational number. He also proved the existence of T numbers.
His series of papers on irregularities of distribution can be seen in J.Beck and West.Chen, Irregularities of Distribution, Cambridge University Press.
Schmidt is in a small group of number theorists who have been invited to address the International Congress of Mathematicians three times. The others are Iwaniec, Shimura, and Tate.
