I did not find wikipedia article to be quiet intuitive.
Any online sources or your own descriptions.
I would be greatful.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
i meant to say, intuitive descriptions for feynmen diagram.
 
I would recommend Mattuck's "A Guide to Feynman Diagrams in the Many-Body Problem". It is a Dover book, so it is quite inexpensive to get. The first couple of chapters are quite accessible and gives a clear idea on the application of Feynman diagrams.

Zz.
 
i am non US. And books are quiet inaccessable.
Online sources would be more helpful.
