This graduate-level textbook offers a modern approach to quantum field theory, covering critical topics and including over 260 exercises for effective learning.
This introductory textbook serves as a comprehensive guide to the modern approach to quantum field theory, specifically designed for graduate-level courses. With over 260 exercises, it provides a thorough exploration of essential topics that are crucial for understanding contemporary quantum field theory. Among the subjects discussed are critical phenomena, lattice gauge theory, supersymmetry, quantum gravity, supergravity, and superstrings, each integral to a modern treatment of the field.
Quantum Field Theory stands out as the definitive textbook in this area, being the only current introductory resource that addresses the modern methodologies of quantum field theory (QFT). Authored by Michio Kaku, this text goes beyond traditional resources, offering insights and material that are vital for a contemporary understanding of QFT. The inclusion of advanced topics not typically found in other textbooks makes this work particularly valuable for students and researchers alike.
In addition to its comprehensive content, the textbook features a wealth of exercises, totaling over 260, which are designed to reinforce learning and enhance understanding. This makes Quantum Field Theory not only a theoretical resource but also a practical tool for students looking to deepen their grasp of the subject. The combination of rigorous content and practical exercises positions this textbook as an essential resource for anyone studying quantum field theory today.
Kaku rolls up his sleeves and gets down to work .. whisking us right throught to inflation and superstrings... provides a comprehensive selection of exercises at the end of every chapter. New Scientist
