Ergodic theory provides a powerful lens for understanding dynamical systems, recasting disordered and seemingly random behavior in the language of probability theory. This book offers a concise, rigorous introduction to the subject, suitable both as a graduate-level textbook and as a reference for both pure and applied mathematicians.
- Part I (Chapters 1–7) lays the foundation, covering invariant measures, measure-theoretic isomorphisms, ergodicity, mixing, entropy, and culminating in the Shannon–McMillan–Breiman Theorem.
- Part II (Chapters 8–13) shifts focus to continuous maps of metric spaces, exploring the collection of invariant measures corresponding to a given map.
- Part III (Chapters 14–16) presents advanced topics rarely found in textbooks at this level, including SRB measures, their deep connection to entropy and Lyapunov exponents, and extensions to two important settings: random and infinite-dimensional dynamical systems.
Throughout, the authors emphasize not only the mathematical elegance of ergodic theory but also its practical relevance and rich connections to other areas of mathematics, from information theory to stochastic processes.

About the Author
Lai-Sang Young is a Professor of Mathematics at New York University and the Moses Professor of Science. Born in Hong Kong, she is an American mathematician whose work spans dynamical systems theory, mathematical physics, and computational neuroscience. Her recent honors include delivering a plenary lecture at the International Congress of Mathematicians (2018), election to the U.S. National Academy of Sciences (2020), the SIAM Juergen Moser Award for nonlinear sciences (2021), and the Rolf Schock Prize in Mathematics (2024).
Alex Blumenthal is an Associate Professor of Mathematics at the Georgia Institute of Technology. An American mathematician, he works at the interface of ergodic theory, random dynamical systems, and fluid mechanics. His recent honors include an NSF CAREER Award (2023–2028) and a Sloan Research Fellowship (2024).

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Chiron Media, Wallingford, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
