Scientific paper

In its five years of operation, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey will obtain the spectra of 105 quasars at i'<19 over 10000 deg2 of the survey area, and a deep sample of ~ 104 high-redshift quasars at z>3 down to i' ~ 20.5. The SDSS quasar sample will be used to study the evolution and large scale distribution of the quasar population at 0 < z < 6. During its commissioning phase, the SDSS has discovered several thousand new quasars, including ~ 200 quasars at 3.5 < z < 5.8. The SDSS sample shows that the number density of high-redshift quasars declines rapidly at high redshift, and that high-redshift quasars are strongly clustered.
