Book Synopsis


Trade Review
Folland's book is valuable for the mathematician who wants to understand how quantum field theory describes nature. ... [This book] is a great introduction to these issues. A mathematician who is serious about learning quantum field theory as a physical theory could do no better than to start with it. Physicists could also benefit from his careful and succinct survey."" — SIAM Review

""The style of the present monograph is clear and the author is honest about possible mathematical shortcomings of quantum field theory."" — Mathematical Reviews
