An Introduction to Ergodic Theory
by Peter Walters · Peter Walters
A graduate text from Springer's Graduate Texts in Mathematics series covering measure-preserving transformations, recurrence, ergodicity, mixing, the ergodic theorems, entropy, and topological dynamics. Readers gain the standard toolkit for studying invariant measures and entropy of dynamical systems.

Terence Tao's Ergodic Theory Notes
Terence Tao's blog posts and lecture notes on ergodic theory, including his graduate course on ergodic theory and its links to additive combinatorics. Readers work through recurrence theorems, Furstenberg correspondence, and measure-preserving systems with rigorous proofs.
Ergodic Theory
A Cambridge monograph presenting measure-theoretic ergodic theory, from the ergodic theorems and mixing properties to entropy, isomorphism theory, and Kakutani equivalence. Readers develop a rigorous understanding of how invariant measures classify the long-term behavior of transformations.
Dynamical Systems and Ergodic Theory
A London Mathematical Society student text introducing dynamical systems and ergodic theory through concrete examples such as circle rotations, expanding maps, and shifts. It covers recurrence, ergodic theorems, mixing, and entropy, preparing readers for applications in number theory.
