{"product_id":"foundations-of-ergodic-theory-marcelo-viana-9781107126961","title":"Foundations of Ergodic Theory","description":"Rich with examples and applications, this textbook provides a coherent and self-contained introduction to ergodic theory, suitable for a variety of one- or two-semester courses. The authors' clear and fluent exposition helps the reader to grasp quickly the most important ideas of the theory, and their use of concrete examples illustrates these ideas and puts the results into perspective. The book requires few prerequisites, with background material supplied in the appendix. The first four chapters cover elementary material suitable for undergraduate students - invariance, recurrence and ergodicity - as well as some of the main examples. The authors then gradually build up to more sophisticated topics, including correlations, equivalent systems, entropy, the variational principle and thermodynamical formalism. The 400 exercises increase in difficulty through the text and test the reader's understanding of the whole theory. Hints and solutions are provided at the end of the book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marcelo Viana, Krerley Oliveira\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1107126967\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107126961\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/15\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 548\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.33h x 6.05w x 1.36d","brand":"Marcelo Viana","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43924044546303,"sku":"9781107126961","price":138.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_1a311ec2-e87f-469e-9b40-b8367b7a9032.jpg?v=1681068150","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/foundations-of-ergodic-theory-marcelo-viana-9781107126961","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
