Table of Contents
  • Integer points, polygons, and polyhedra
  • Simpson's paradox, Farey sequences, and Diophantine approximation
  • A coin problem and generating functions
  • Pythagorean triples and sums of squares
  • Benford's law, uniform distribution and normal numbers
  • Sums and integrals
