| Title of Talk | Uniform distribution and invertible matrices |
| Abstract | Uniform distribution is usually known as a property of sequences xn in the unit interval, like n alpha modulo 1, where alpha is irrational. We will present an example of uniform distribution in the unit square, explain the handy Weyl criterion used to prove uniform distribution, and conclude with an application to invertible 2x2 - matrices over the integers. |
