Rational points on algebraic curves over finite fields is a key topic for algebraic geometers and coding theorists. Here, the authors relate an important application of such curves, namely, to the construction of low-discrepancy sequences, needed for numerical methods in diverse areas. They sum up the theoretical work on algebraic curves over finite fields with many rational points and discuss the applications of such curves to algebraic coding theory and the construction of low-discrepancy sequences.
