Description for Geometric Discrepancy
Paperback. What is the "most uniform" way of distributing n points in the unit square? How big is the "irregularity" necessarily present in any such distribution?

Discrepancy theory is also called the theory of irregularities of distribution. Here are some typical questions: What is the "most uniform" way of dis tributing n points in the unit square? How big is the "irregularity" necessarily present in any such distribution? For a precise formulation of these questions, we must quantify the irregularity of a given distribution, and discrepancy is a numerical parameter of a point set serving this purpose. Such questions were first tackled in the thirties, with a motivation com ing from number theory. A more or less satisfactory solution of the basic discrepancy problem in the ... Read more

Reviews for Geometric Discrepancy
From the reviews: “The book gives a very useful introduction to geometric discrepancy theory. The style is quite informal and lively which makes the book easily readable.” (Robert F. Tichy, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1197, 2010)
