A First Course in Ergodic Theory (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780367226206)

Karma Dajani earned her PhD degree from the George Washington University in DC and is currently an Associate Professor in Mathematics at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. She has over 30 years of teaching experience, close to 60 publications and is the co-author of the book Ergodic Theory of Numbers. Her research interests are primarily in Ergodic Theory and its applications to other fields such as Number Theory, Probability Theory and Symbolic Dynamics. Although Mathematics is her career but it is also one of her three passions: math, dance and classical music.

Charlene Kalle earned her PhD in mathematics from Utrecht University. After postdoctoral positions at Warwick University and the University of Vienna, she moved to Leiden University where she is now an Assistant Professor in Mathematics. Her research is in ergodic theory with applications to probability theory. She is also interested in relations to number theory and fractal geometry. She was awarded two prestigious research grants from the Dutch Research Council NWO. Besides twenty research articles, she has co-authored a book on extracurricular high school mathematics. She has accumulated twenty years of teaching experience ranging from teaching Italian language to adults to lecturing master courses in mathematics. She mostly devotes her time not spent on mathematics to her three children and playing bridge.
