In this survey article, the authors treat algebraic curves with many rational points over a finite field \({\mathbb F}_q\). Such curves are important for algebraic coding theory and for constructions of low-discrepancy sequences. Special attention is given to: (1) explicit constructions using Artin-Schreier extensions, Kummer extensions, or cyclotomic function fields, and (2) recent work by the authors using Drinfeld modules and narrow ray class extensions, as in [Lect. Notes Comput. Sci. 1423, 555-566 (1998; Zbl 0909.11052)]. In the final section, the authors give tables of known bounds for the maximum number of rational points on curves of certain genera for \(q=2,3,4\) and 5. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0887.00013].
