3."Field Theory: A Path Integral Approach" by Ashok Das
“Field Theory: A Path Integral Approach” Book Review: This book provides an explanation of the path integral approach in field theory. In the past, field theory was explained using canonical quantization, with a focus on high energy physics. However, this book explores how the techniques of field theory can be applied in other areas of physics, such as condensed matter, nuclear physics, and statistical mechanics. The key aspect that enables this versatility is the path integral approach, which is thoroughly explained within the context of quantum mechanics.
