    Mathematical Details

    The probability density function (pdf) is,

    .. math::

        pdf(x; a, b) = \\frac{1}{Z}, \ a <=x <b

    .. math::

        Z = b - a

    In the above equation:

    * :math:`low = a`,
    * :math:`high = b`,
    * :math:`Z`: is the normalizing constant.

    The parameters `low` and `high` must be shaped in a way that supports
    broadcasting (e.g., `high - low` is a valid operation).
