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? This book is an accessible and lively introduction to the area of geometric discrepancy theory, with numerous exercises and illustrations. In separate, more specialized parts, it also provides a comprehensive guide to recent research.

This volume contains selected refereed papers based on lectures presented at the 'Integers Conference 2007', an international conference in combinatorial number theory that was held in Carrollton, Georgia in October 2007.

The proceedings include contributions from many distinguished speakers, including George Andrews, Neil Hindman, Florian Luca, Carl Pomerance, Ken Ono and Igor E. Shparlinski. Among the topics considered in these papers are additive number theory, multiplicative number theory, sequences, elementary number theory, theory of partitions, and Ramsey theory.

The famous zeros of the Riemann zeta function and its generalizations (L-functions, Dedekind and Selberg zeta functions) are analyzed through several zeta functions built over those zeros. These 'second-generation' zeta functions have surprisingly many explicit, yet largely unnoticed properties, which are surveyed here in an accessible and synthetic manner, and then compiled in numerous tables. No previous book has addressed this neglected topic in analytic number theory. Concretely, this handbook will help anyone faced with symmetric sums over zeros like Riemann's. More generally, it aims...
