Module content and teaching

Principal aims

To study the long term behaviour of dynamical systems (or iterations of maps) using methods developed in Measure Theory, Linear Analysis and Probability Theory.

Principal learning outcomes

At the end of the module the student is expected to be familiar with the ergodic theorem and its application to the analysis of the dynamical behaviour of a variety of examples.

Other essential notes

Measure theory, metric spaces, and basic analysis. Some familiarity with linear analysis would be helpful but this is not essential. Term 1's MA424 Dynamical Systems is related to this module but it is not a prerequisite.
