The paper is a survey, that describes the general framework for several principal areas of the theory of dynamical systems. It is an introduction to mathematicians unfamiliar with dynamics and it can be interesting to experts. The authors pay attention to examples, motivations, discussions of key special cases or simplified versions of general results. The survey contains eight sections. 1. Introduction: The basic objects of dynamics. Equivalence and functorial constructions. Asymptotic behavior and averaging. 2. Topological dynamics: Basic concepts and constructions. Recurrence. Behavior of orbits. Symbolic dynamical systems. 3. Ergodic theory: Basic concepts and constructions. Recurrence. Spectral properties. Entropy. 4. Invariant measures in topological dynamics: Existence of invariant measures. Unique ergodicity. Metric and topological entropy. 5. Smooth, Hamiltonian and Lagrangian dynamics: Basic concepts and constructions. Contact systems. Variational methods in dynamics. Holomorphic dynamics. 6. Hyperbolic dynamics. Orbit instability and structural stability: Main features of hyperbolic behavior. The core theory. The theory of nonuniformly hyperbolic systems. Partial hyperbolicity. 7. Elliptic dynamics: Stable recurrent behavior. The setting for elliptic dynamics. Diophantine phenomena. Liouvillian phenomena. 8. Parabolic dynamics. A special case of itermidiate orbit growth: Parabolic systems with uniform structures. Flows on surfaces. Billiards. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1013.00016].
