{"product_id":"9780521670531","title":"Quantum Theory of Fields: Volume 1, Foundations","description":"\u003cp\u003eAvailable for the first time in paperback, The Quantum Theory of Fields is a self-contained, comprehensive, and up-to-date introduction to quantum field theory from Nobel Laureate Steven Weinberg. Volume I introduces the foundations of quantum field theory. The development is fresh and logical throughout, with each step carefully motivated by what has gone before. After a brief historical outline, the book begins with the principles of relativity and quantum mechanics, and the properties of particles that follow. Quantum field theory emerges from this as a natural consequence. The classic calculations of quantum electrodynamics are presented in a thoroughly modern way, showing the use of path integrals and dimensional regularization. It contains much original material, and is peppered with examples and insights drawn from the author's experience as a leader of elementary particle research. Exercises are included at the end of each chapter.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Steven Weinberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52772693016894,"sku":"9780521670531","price":2362.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/files\/9780521670531.jpg?v=1766412069","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9780521670531","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
