    The author investigates classical approximation constants concerning simultaneous diophantine approximation \(| \zeta^j x - y_j | \) with \(1 \leq j \leq n\), and concerning approximation with algebraic numbers of degree \(\leq n\). The paper contains new proofs of classical results of \textit{H. Davenport} and \textit{W. M. Schmidt} [Acta Arith. 15, 393--416 (1969; Zbl 0186.08603)] based on interesting geometric estimates. Furthermore, the author observes a certain uniformity of the bounds with respect to \(\zeta\).
