This book is a broad-based text intended to help the growing
student body interested in constructing and applying methods of
effective field theory to solve problems in their research. It
begins with a review of using symmetries to identify the relevant
degrees of freedom in a problem, and then presents a variety of
methods that can be used to construct various effective theories. A
detailed discussion of canonical applications of effective field
theory techniques with increasing complexity is given, including
Fermi's weak interaction, heavy-quark effective theory, and
soft-collinear effective theory. Applications of these techniques
to study physics beyond the standard model, dark matter, and
quantum and classical gravity are explored. Although most examples
come from questions in high-energy physics, many of the methods can
also be applied in condensed-matter settings. Appendices include
various factoids from group theory and other topics that are used
throughout the text, in an attempt to make the book self-contained.
