Discrepancy theory is currently at a crossroads between number theory, combinatorics, Fourier analysis, algorithms and complexity, probability theory and numerical analysis. There are several excellent books on discrepancy theory but perhaps no one of them actually shows the present variety of points of view and applications covering the areas "Classical and Geometric Discrepancy Theory", "Combinatorial Discrepancy Theory" and "Applications and Constructions". Our book consists of several chapters, written by experts in the specific areas, and focused on the different aspects of the theory. The book should also be an invitation to researchers and students to find a quick way into the different methods and to motivate interdisciplinary research 650 0$aIrregularities of distribution (Number theory) 700 1 $aChen, William$eauthor$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0739647 700 1 $aSrivastav, Anand$eauthor$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0739648 700 1 $aTravaglini, Giancarlo$eauthor$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0290836 856 40$uhttp://link.springer.com/book/10.1007%2F978-3-319-04696-9$zAn electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web 907 $a.b14257981$b03-03-22$c12-07-16 912 $a991002943619707536 996 $aPanorama of discrepancy theory$91465245 997 $aUNISALENTO 998 $ale013$b12-07-16$cm$d@ $e-$feng$gsz $h2$i0
