Abstract
This paper presents a simple introduction to the theory of systematic sampling. Its relation to random sampling, stratified random sampling and cluster sampling is shown by means of a numerical example. Some advice is given on the circumstances under which systematic sampling may be advantageously used.

Its relation to random sampling, stratified random sampling and cluster sampling is shown by means of a numerical example. Some advice is given on the circumstances under which systematic sampling may be advantageously used.
