OverviewThis text expounds the fundamentals of path integrals, of both the Wiener and Feynman type, and their many applications in physics. Each chapter is self-contained and can be used as an independant text book; it contains general physical background, concepts of path integral approach used, followed by most typical and important applications presented in detail as well as problems with either their solutions or hints how to solve them.
