From July 11th to July 22nd, 2005, a NATO advanced study institute, as part of the series "e;Seminaire ' de mathematiques ' superieures"e;, ' was held at the U- versite ' de Montreal, ' on the subject Equidistribution in the theory of numbers. There were about one hundred participants from sixteen countries around the world. This volume presents details of the lecture series that were given at the school. Across the broad panorama of topics that constitute modern number t- ory one nds shifts of attention and focus as more is understood and better questions are formulated. Over the last decade or so we have noticed incre- ing interest being paid to distribution problems, whether of rational points, of zeros of zeta functions, of eigenvalues, etc. Although these problems have been motivated from very di?erent perspectives, one nds that there is much in common, and presumably it is healthy to try to view such questions as part of a bigger subject. It is for this reason we decided to hold a school on "e;Equidistribution in number theory"e; to introduce junior researchers to these beautiful questions, and to determine whether di?erent approaches can in uence one another. There are far more good problems than we had time for in our schedule. We thus decided to focus on topics that are clearly inter-related or do not requirealotofbackgroundtounderstand.

This outrageous graphic novel investigates key concepts in mathematics by taking readers on a voyage of forensic discovery, exploring some of the most fundamental ideas in mathematics within a thrilling murder mystery.

Offers a fresh take on congruences, power residues, quadratic residues, primes, and Diophantine equations and presents hot topics like cryptography, factoring, and primality testing. Students are also introduced to beautiful enlightening questions and modern twists on traditional questions.

This volume contains a collection of papers in Analytic and Elementary Number Theory in memory of Professor Paul Erdoes, one of the greatest mathematicians of this century.
