Program

Approximations of real numbers by rational numbers and representation in continued fractions - basic theory: definitions; examples; characterization of the convergents from the continued fractions representation as the best rational approximations of a real number; Hurwitz-Markov theorem; characterization of (eventually) periodic continued fractions: Lagrange's theorem.

An application: Pell's equation

Metric theory of Diophantine approximations: Khintchine's theorem

Simultaneous Diophantine approximations

Inhomogeneous approximations: Kronecker's theorem

Liouville numbers

Dynamics of the Gauss map g(x)={1/x} and continued fractions

Comments on theMarkov and Lagrange spectra (and their relations with regular Cantor sets and the Gauss map).
