Book on Feynmann diagrammatica and renormalization group

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on seeking recommendations for books that cover Feynman diagrams and the renormalization group, specifically for someone with a physics background familiar with ordinary and partial differential equations, as well as Feynman integrals and propagators. A notable suggestion is the Dover publication "A Guide to Feynman Diagrams in the Many-Body Problem" by Mattuck, which is considered suitable for understanding the applications of these concepts in many-body physics. The conversation emphasizes the need for resources that provide clear examples and calculations related to these advanced topics in theoretical physics.

i would need some good books (with examples) in the following subjects

- Feynman diagramas (how to calculate them)

- Renormalization group

my background: i have got a degree on physics, so i know what ODE , PDE , or even the Feynman integral and propagator, but i did not study the part of 'renormalization' and 'Feynmann graphs'

which are the applications you are looking for? Particle Physics? many body physics?
 
There's a Dover book by Mattuck, "A Guide to Feynman Diagrams in the Many-Body Problem" which I think will meet your requirements.
 

Thread '"WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians'

The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...

Thread 'Books with a more theoretical approach to turbulence and DNS'

I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
