This book contains essays from close colleagues and leading experts in those fields in which he has worked. The essays contain short overviews of different research areas as well as some very new research results.
The articles focus on uniform distribution and quasi-Monte Carlo methods as well as finite fields and their applications, in particular cryptography and pseudorandom number generation.
The first chapter gives an overview of Harald's career and describes some scientific spotlights.
