  • More about Introduction to Quantum Field Theory: Classical Mechanics to Gauge Field Theories


This textbook provides a comprehensive and modern introduction to quantum and gauge field theories, suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students. It covers advanced dynamics and special relativity, relativistic quantum mechanics, and classical field theory, with full derivations and pedagogical tone. An online solutions manual is available for instructors.

This comprehensive textbook provides a detailed and self-contained presentation of quantum and gauge field theories, written from a modern perspective. The author begins by discussing advanced dynamics and special relativity, before guiding students steadily through the fundamental principles of relativistic quantum mechanics and classical field theory. This foundation is then used to develop the full theoretical framework of quantum and gauge field theories. The introductory section of the book allows it to be used for a wide range of courses, from advanced undergraduate to graduate level, and is particularly beneficial for students lacking a formal background in more elementary topics. Williams includes full derivations wherever possible and adopts a pedagogical tone without compromising rigor. Throughout the text, worked examples are provided to illustrate key concepts, and end-of-chapter problems help students reinforce their understanding. An online solutions manual is available for instructors.
