Summary:
"The main goal of this book is to familiarize the reader with a tool, the path integral, that not only offers an alternative point of view on quantum mechanics, but more importantly, under a generalized form, has also become the key to a deeper understanding of quantum field theory and its applications, extending from particle physics to phase transitions or properties of quantum gases."--BOOK JACKET.

Abstract:

Path integrals have allowed us to establish a direct mathematical relation between the theory of ordinary phase transitions and quantum field theory. This book introduces students to this topic  Read more...
