The first serious study of ergodic theory was performed by [[Ludwig Boltzmann]], who also coined the term. His thesis was to justify the use of [[equilibria]] to study [[mechanics]] in a probabilistic model. [[John von Neumann]] and [[George David Birkhoff]] are other seminal contributors to the field.
