dc.description.abstract	This thesis combines two fields of mathematics: number theory and ergodic theory (as part of dynamical systems). We study a special representation of numbers throughout the thesis: the simple continued fraction. We further investigate how simple continued fractions play a central role in approximating real numbers by rational numbers in the theory of Diophantine approximation. Simple continued fractions are also connected to a special measure-preserving transformation on [0, 1). Using ergodic theory results, we prove many properties of continued fractions.
