Synopsis

Ideas from quantum field theory and string theory have had considerable impact on mathematics since the 1980s. Advances in many different areas have been inspired by insights from physics. In 1996-97 the Institute for Advanced Study (Princeton, NJ) organized a special year-long programme designed to teach mathematicians the basic physical ideas which underlie the mathematical applications.

About this title

Review

'it is a concise introduction to the quantum field theory and perturbative string theory, with as much emphasis on a mathematically satisfying exposition and clarity as possible... This book will be helpful to all mathematicians and mathematical physicits who wish to learn anbout the beautiful subjet of quantum field theory, EMS
