Dynamical Systems and Ergodic Theory

This Book Is Essentially A 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 Master''S 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).
