Anthony G. Williams is Professor in Physics at Adelaide University, Australia. He has worked extensively in the areas of hadronic physics and computational physics, studying quark and gluon substructure. For this work, he was awarded the Walter Boas Medal by the Australian Institute of Physics in 2001 and elected Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2002. In 2020, he became the Deputy Director of the Centre for Dark Matter Particle Physics of the Australian Research Council.
'This new and very welcome introduction to quantum field theory
takes the reader from the basics of classical physics and the
beauty of group theory to the intricacies and elegance of gauge
field theories. Students and researchers alike will treasure this
fresh approach to one of the foundation stones of modern physics.'
Thomas Appelquist, Yale University
'I wish this text had been available the last time I taught quantum
field theory. The author provides clear, detailed expositions,
which serve students with diverse backgrounds for multiple course
syllabi.' Steve Gottlieb, Indiana University
'The rigorous and logical approach makes this text certainly one to
be seriously considered for use in a quantum field theory course.
In any case, it is one which practitioners will definitely want to
have within easy reach on their bookshelf.' Barry Holstein,
University of Massachusetts Amherst
'Both as an introductory text and as an excellent single-volume
compendium on quantum field theory, this book is highly recommended
for students as well as practitioners at all levels.' Wolfram
Weise, Technical University of Munich
