Quantum Field Theory and the Standard Model Matthew D. Schwartz is an English-language textbook that offers a thorough introduction to quantum field theory. It is aimed at students and professionals in physics and mathematics.
The book covers the development of quantum field theory and the Standard Model of particle physics, from basic principles to advanced calculation techniques such as effective field theory and the renormalization group. With a clear combination of physical explanation and mathematical foundations, it is accessible to readers with a basic knowledge of quantum mechanics.
This text contains extensive derivations, examples, and practice problems that enable users to reproduce classic results and better understand modern quantum field theory. It is based on years of teaching experience and is suitable for both courses and independent study.
Topics connect to quantum theory, quantum physics, and statistical physics, and provide an up-to-date context for precision calculations within the Standard Model.
