I am looking for a book/site which has the English translation of the proof of van der Waerden's theorem as presented by van der Waerden himself. In other words is the translation of the paper:

van der Waerden, B. L. "Beweis einer Baudetschen Vermutung." Nieuw Arch. Wisk. 15, 212-216, 1927.

available anywhere?

Thanks.

You can look van der Waerden up at:

https://zbmath.org/?q=py:1926+se:00003568

but you only get 3 articles for free.

There's an article covering vdW's theorem at:

https://homepages.warwick.ac.uk/~masdbl/vdw.pdf

His paper is covered by Khinchin 'Three Pearls of Number Theory', which might contain an original translation:

    @Shahab; i searched for a good couple of hours and could'nt find anything else. zbMath got the closest to the original, and Google Translate could do the rest, but I don't have an account.2015-09-25
