Title: Deterministic systems that behave probabilistically

Abstract:
In this talk I will try to explain what it means for a deterministic 
system (a dynamical system whose time evolution is completely determined 
by some equations) to behave in a probabilistic manner. First through 
simple examples I will introduce the modern mathematical terminology for 
probability theory (i.e, such things as probability spaces, random 
observables, law of large numbers, central limit theorem) and then 
explain how these concepts are helpful in understanding behaviour of 
certain deterministic dynamical systems.
