Review
"A must-read for novices and experts alike. It can be used for a graduate-level topics course or as a reference text for researchers in the field. The exposition is outstanding, with hundreds of carefully chosen examples, figures and diagrams to illustrate the theory. For those who are up for a challenge, the book contains several open problems as well. An Introduction to Benford's Law will surely be the go-to text on the subject for years to come."--Pieter C. Allaart, Mathematical Reviews
From the Back Cover
"This comprehensive book is a gem from an academic research perspective. Researchers in the field need now just look in one place for the mathematical foundations of Benford's law."--Mark J. Nigrini, author of Benford's Law: Applications for Forensic Accounting, Auditing, and Fraud Detection
"This book will become a standard reference on Benford's law. It brings together many results that are currently scattered among several different formats, including some very recent findings. The presentation is accessible, with clear and intuitive statements of results and lucid proofs."--Walter Mebane, University of Michigan
