Introduction to Quantum Field Theory

von V. G. Kiselev Kategorie: Allgemein ISBN: 9056992376 Kommentar abgeben

From Book News, Inc. Bucking the trend toward concrete examples and applications, a Belorussian and two German physicists introduce the theory by concentrating on the basic physical ideas that are common to its many applications, and avoid describing applications that force students to grapple with physics while learning quantum field theory. The material is based on senior undergraduate courses for students specializing in theoretical physics who are familiar with some common mathematical analysis, the basic ideas of quantum mechanics, and some specific topics in quantum mechanics such as the Schrodinger equation and potential wells. They do not assume a knowledge of statistical and elementary particle physics.Book News, Inc.®, Portland, OR

Synopsis This text aims to provide an introduction to the subject of quantum field theory without the complication of featuring its application areas such as elementary particle physics or statistical physics at the same time.
