Description for Computational Ergodic Theory (Algorithms and Computation in Mathematics, Vol. 13)
Hardcover.
Ergodic theory is hard to study because it is based on measure theory, which is a technically difficult subject to master for ordinary students, especially for physics majors. Many of the examples are introduced from a different perspective than in other books and theoretical ideas can be gradually absorbed while doing computer experiments. Theoretically less prepared students can appreciate the deep theorems by doing various simulations. The computer experiments are simple but they have close ties with theoretical implications. Even the researchers in the field can benefit by checking their conjectures, which might have been regarded as unrealistic to be ... Read more

Reviews for Computational Ergodic Theory (Algorithms and Computation in Mathematics, Vol. 13)
From the reviews: When I first read the title of this book I thought it would be about a subfield of ergodic theory, but it is not. It is an introduction to ergodic theory that utilizes computer experiments to illustrate the basic ideas and examples of the subject. Given the historical roots of ergodic ... Read more
