Renowned physicist and mathematician Freeman Dyson is famous for
his work in quantum mechanics, nuclear weapons policy and bold
visions for the future of humanity. In the 1940s, he was
responsible for demonstrating the equivalence of the two
formulations of quantum electrodynamics - Richard Feynman's
diagrammatic path integral formulation and the variational methods
developed by Julian Schwinger and Sin-Itiro Tomonoga - showing the
mathematical consistency of QED.This invaluable volume comprises
the legendary lectures on quantum electrodynamics first given by
Dyson at Cornell University in 1951. The late theorist Edwin
Thompson Jaynes once remarked, "For a generation of physicists they
were the happy medium: clearer and better motivated than Feynman,
and getting to the point faster than Schwinger".This edition has
been printed on the 60th anniversary of the Cornell lectures, and
includes a foreword by science historian David Kaiser, as well as
notes from Dyson's lectures at the Les Houches Summer School of
Theoretical Physics in 1954. The Les Houches lectures, described as
a supplement to the original Cornell notes, provide a more detailed
look at field theory, a careful and rigorous derivation of Fermi's
Golden Rule, and a masterful treatment of renormalization and
Ward's Identity.Future generations of physicists are bound to read
these lectures with pleasure, benefiting from the lucid style that
is so characteristic of Dyson's exposition.
