Using examples from across the sub-disciplines of physics, this
introduction shows why effective field theories are the language in
which physical laws are written. The tools of effective field
theory are demonstrated using worked examples from areas including
particle, nuclear, atomic, condensed matter and gravitational
physics. To bring the subject within reach of scientists with a
wide variety of backgrounds and interests, there are clear physical
explanations, rigorous derivations, and extensive appendices on
background material, such as quantum field theory. Starting from
undergraduate-level quantum mechanics, the book gets to
state-of-the-art calculations using both relativistic and
nonrelativistic few-body and many-body examples, and numerous
end-of-chapter problems derive classic results not covered in the
main text. Graduate students and researchers in particle physics,
condensed matter physics, nuclear physics, string theory, and
mathematical physics more generally, will find this book ideal for
both self-study and for organized courses on effective field
theory.
