Sumario:After a brief survey of Hamiltonian theory and of relevant notions of set theory and manifolds, these lecture notes present some general properties of orbits, paying special attention to integrable systems. This is followed by a discussion of the Kolmogorov-Arnol'd-Moser theorem, dealing with the stability of orbits under small perturbations, and its importance for ergodic theory. Ergodicity and mixing are then treated in detail. In particular, the ergodic theorem of von Neumann is derived, and a specific example is given of a (strongly) mixing system.
