Path Integrals in Quantum Physics
by R. Rosenfelder
Publisher: arXiv 2012
Number of pages: 183
Description:
These lectures aim at giving graduate students an introduction to and a working knowledge of path integral methods in a wide variety of fields in physics. Consequently, the lecture notes are organized in three main parts dealing with non-relativistic quantum mechanics, many-body physics and field theory.
