The problem of uniform distribution of sequences initiated by Hardy, Little- wood and Weyl in the 1910's has now become an important part of number theory. This is also true, in relation to combinatorics, of what is called Ramsey- theory, a theory of about the same age going back to Schur. Both concern the distribution of sequences of elements in certain collection of subsets. But it was not known until quite recently that the two are closely interweaving bear- ing fruits for both. At the same time other fields of mathematics, such as ergodic theory, geometry, information theory, algorithm...
