For various discrete commutative rings a concept of uniform distribution has already been introduced and studied, for example, for the ring of rational integers by Niven [9] (see also Kuipers and Niederreiter [2, Ch. 5]), for the rings of Gaussian and Eisenstein integers by Kuipers, Niederreiter, and Shiue [3], for rings of algebraic integers by Lo and Niederreiter [4], [7], and for finite fields by Gotusso [1] and Niederreiter and Shiue [8]. In the present paper, we shall show that a satisfactory theory of uniform distribution can also be developed in a noncommutative setting, namely for matrix rings over the rational integers.
