Conclusions<br />

ß SDSS is a tremendously powerful tool for studying the optical<br />

properties of AGN at z=0 to z=6.5.<br />

ß Luminous quasars peaked in comoving space density at z~2.5.<br />

Luminosity function slope change is qualitatively consistent<br />

with ‘cosmic downsizing’ picture.<br />

ß At low redshifts, AGN luminosity function can be pushed<br />

down to very low luminosities. Continuity with classical<br />

quasars is work in progress.<br />

ß Very luminous Type II quasars can be selected from the<br />

SDSS spectroscopic sample, and studied in detail.<br />

ß Ask me about the latest results on quasars at high (z~6)<br />

quasars…
