In [[mathematics]], '''discrepancy theory''' describes the deviation of a situation from the [[state]] one would like it to be. It is also called theory of irregularities of [[distribution]]. This refers to the theme of classical discrepancy theory, namely distributing [[points]] in some [[space]] such that they are evenly distributed with [[respect]] to some (mostly [[geometrically]] defined) subsets. The discrepancy (irregularity) [[measures]] how far a given distribution deviates from an [[ideal]] one.

Discrepancy theory can be described as the [[study]] of [[inevitable]] irregularities of distributions, in measure-theoretic and combinatorial settings. Just as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramsey_theory Ramsey theory] elucidates the impossibility of total disorder, discrepancy theory [[studies]] the deviations from total [[uniformity]].[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrepancy_theory]
