Path Integrals For Pedestrians
World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd (Verlag)
978-981-4603-93-5 (ISBN)
This book aims to provide a quick pedagogical introduction to path integrals. It contains original material that never before has appeared in a book, for example the path integrals for the Wigner functions and for Classical Mechanics. This application to Classical Mechanics connects different fields like Hamiltonian mechanics and differential geometry, so the book is suitable for students and researchers from various disciplines.
