Book Description:

This book has two main aims. Firstly, to give a summary of the theoretical work in algebraic curves over finite fields with many rational points. Secondly to discuss the applications of this theory to areas such as information theory (algebraic coding theory) and computational mathematics (construction of low-discrepancy sequences). The bulk of the material in this book is of very recent origin. The authors have given the first systematic treatment of this material in this book.
