This 2002 book discusses the classical foundations of field theory,
using the language of variational methods and covariance. It
explores the limits of what can be achieved with purely classical
notions, and shows how these have a deep and important connection
with the second quantized field theory, which follows on from the
Schwinger Action Principle. The book takes a pragmatic view of
field theory, focusing on issues which are usually omitted from
quantum field theory texts and cataloging results which are hard to
find in the literature. Care is taken to explain how results arise
and how to interpret them physically, for graduate students
starting out in the field. An ideal supplementary text for courses
on elementary field theory, group theory and dynamical systems, it
is also a valuable reference for researchers working in these and
related areas. It has been reissued as an Open Access publication
on Cambridge Core.
