Abstract
We develop a randomized algorithm (that succeeds with high probability) for generating an -net in a sphere of dimension n. The basic scheme is to pick random rotations and take all possible words of length in the same alphabet and act them on a fixed point. We show this set of points is equidistributed at a scale of . Our main application is to approximate integration of Lipschitz functions over an n-sphere.
