Classical and Quantum Dynamics - From Classical Paths to Path Integrals (Paperback, 6th ed. 2020)

Graduate students seeking to become familiar with advanced computational strategies in classical and quantum dynamics will find in this book both the fundamentals of a standard course and a detailed treatment of the time-dependent oscillator, Chern-Simons mechanics, the Maslov anomaly and the Berry phase, to name just a few topics. Well-chosen and detailed examples illustrate perturbation theory, canonical transformations and the action principle, and demonstrate the usage of path integrals. The sixth edition has been enlarged to include the Heisenberg-Euler Lagrangian, Schwinger's source theory treatment of the low-energy - -N physics and general relativity, where Riemann's (Einstein's) ideas on space and time and their philosophical implications are discussed.
