This self-contained introduction addresses the novel flow equation approach for many particle systems and provides an up-to-date review of the subject. The text first discusses the general ideas and concepts of the flow equation method, and then in a second part illustrates them with various applications in condensed matter theory. The third and last part of the book contains an outlook with current perspectives for future research.
