Quantum Functional Integration and Feynman rules

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding resources that outline the calculations from a given Lagrangian to the Feynman rules in quantum field theory. The request emphasizes the need for materials that are not overly rigorous but focus on the main steps involved. A suggestion is made to consult standard references, specifically the textbook "An Introduction to Quantum Field Theory" by Peskin and Schröder. The user plans to review this recommended resource and provide feedback on its usefulness.

Hallo Everybody,

I am searching for a book (or lecture notes) that details the calculations that lead me from a given Lagrangian to the Feynman rules of the theory. It should not be rigouros, just the main steps to get the Feynman rules.

Thanks for your help!

This should be in any textbook on quantum field theory. Have you gried the standard references such as Peskin-Schröder?

I'll take a look at Peskin Schröder and report.
 
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...
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...
