A unique approach to quantum field theory, with emphasis on the principles of <br />
renormalization Quantum field theory is frequently approached from the <br />
perspective of particle physics. This book adopts a more general point of view <br />
and includes applications of condensed matter physics. Written by a highly <br />
respected writer and researcher, it first develops traditional concepts, <br />
including Feynman graphs, before moving on to key topics such as functional <br />
integrals, statistical mechanics, and Wilson's renormalization group. The <br />
connection between the latter and conventional perturbative renormalization is <br />
explained.<br />
