Adatto a chi già a delle basi molto buone in QFT, va però considerato come una introduzione a un volume precedente dello stesso autore, in cui sviluppa il metodo del Path integral in fisica delle particelle. Approfondito ma impegnativo.
This title is a very detailed and formal introduction to path integrals in quantum mechanics. In my opinion, it is a great book that differs from the usual exposition of the subject, which is biased towards particle physics. The material contained is very similar to that in Zinn-Justin's other book, "Quantum Field Theory and Critical Phenomena", but the discussions are more focused towards quantum and statistical physics, and does not include much about QFT. Exercises come with solutions, and the minimum requirements on quantum mechanics are contained in an appendix.

This book is supremely clear. As always, path integrals can seem very unrigorous to the uninitiated, but Jean Zinn-Justin makes a lot of effort to highlight the mathematical subtleties. Expressions are clearly indexed, the notation is careful and not sloppy. This makes line by line careful study very rewarding. The other great aspect of the book is its emphasis on euclidean path integrals formulation, which makes relation to statistical mechanics and stochastic process much clearer. Some might say the notation is pedantic, but for someone learning the topic for the first time, I prefer to keep all the factors correctly so I can get the results confidently. For people who want careful math derivations, this book is great!
