Abstract
Ergodic theory is the study of the long-term behavior of systems preserving a certain form of energy.
The most useful piece of advice I would give to a mathematics student is always to suspect an impressive sounding theorem if it does not have a special case which is both simple and non-trivial. M.F. Atiyah
