遍歷理論和動力系統的研究領域十分豐富，雖然各有不同，但都采用了通用的全局動力方法作為研究主題。該雜志為這一重要而繁榮的數學領域提供了一個焦點，并匯集了該領域的許多重要貢獻。該雜志作為一個論壇的中心問題的動力系統和互動的動力系統與領域，如微分幾何，數論，算子代數，天體和統計力學，生物學。

Ergodic Theory and Dynamical Systems focuses on a rich variety of research areas which, although diverse, employ as common themes global dynamical methods. The journal provides a focus for this important and flourishing area of mathematics and brings together many major contributions in the field. The journal acts as a forum for central problems of dynamical systems and of interactions of dynamical systems with areas such as differential geometry, number theory, operator algebras, celestial and statistical mechanics, and biology.
