Coverings, Lattices and Quantizers,orms are really the same, and explain the connections with number theory. One of the central issues is the classification of integral quadratic forms or lattices. The last section describes the problem of designing good quantizers or analog-to-digital converters. For each problem we summarize what is presently known about its solution.

The kissing number problem is an important special case of the latter, and asks how many spheres can just touch another sphere of the same size. We summarize what is known about these topics and also introduce terminology that will be used
