Synopsis

This book is an introduction to topological dynamics and ergodic theory. It is divided into a number of relatively short chapters with the intention that each may be used as a component of a lecture course tailored to the particular audience. The authors provide a number of applications, principally to number theory and arithmetic progressions (through Van der Waerden's theorem and Szemerdi's theorem). This text is suitable for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students.

About this title

Book Description

This book is an essentially self contained introduction to topological dynamics and ergodic theory. It is divided into a number of relatively short chapters with the intention that each may be used as a component of a lecture course tailored to the particular audience. Parts of the book are suitable for a final year undergraduate course or for a masters level course. A number of applications are given, principally to number theory and arithmetic progressions (through van der waerden's theorem and szemerdi's theorem).

Review

' ... the volume achieves its goals well. It covers a broad range of topics clearly and succinctly ... There is much material here to interest and stimulate the reader ... I thoroughly recommend it to anyone of has some knowledge of the subject matter and wants a concise and well presented reference for more advanced concepts.' UK Non-Linear News
