　　Theoretical condensed matter physics draws heavily andincreasingly on the language ofquantum field theory．This primer iSaimed at elevating graduate students of condensed matter physics toa level where they can engage in independent research．It emphasizesthedevelopment of modem methods of classical and quantum fieldtheory with applicationsof interest in both experimental andtheoretical condensed matter physics．Topics covered1nclude secondquantization，path and functional field integration，mean—fieldtheory andcollective phenomena，the renormalization group，andtopology．Conceptual aspects andformal methodology are emphasizedand developed，but the discussion is rooted firmly inpracticalexperimental application．As well as routine exercises．the textincludes extendedand challenging problems，with fully workedsolutions，designed to provide a bridgebetween formal manipulationsand research—oriented thinkin9．This book willcomplementgraduate—level courses on theoretical quantum condensedmatter physics． Preface
