Course Plan: We plan to cover elements of the theory of dynamical systems with emphasis on ergodic theory. The following is a rough list of topics.

Texts: the main text for the course is the first one in the below list. The other texts listed should also be useful.

Grades: will be based on a moderate amount of homework assignments and/or lecture presentation.
