Arithmetically interesting objects are often a small set in some larger ambient space and one may ask how they are distributed. In this talk, we take a geometric perspective and consider subsets of the modular curve, i.e. the upper complex half plane modulo SL(2, Z), a space with a rich structure. I will present various classical and modern equidistribution problems and describe what tools can be used to establish equidistribution results.
