Quantum Where Can I Find Resources on Path Integral Formulation in Quantum Mechanics?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding resources for the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, specifically for someone with undergraduate knowledge in the subject. Recommendations include a mix of free online PDFs and paid books. Notable suggestions are R. P. Feynman and A. R. Hibbs' "Quantum Mechanics and Path Integrals," recognized as a classic text, and various free lecture notes and papers available online, such as those from EPFL and Berkeley. The emphasis is on resources that provide a solid introduction and possibly include problems for practice.

Hello! Can someone suggest me a good reading about path integral formulation of quantum mechanics? I took 2 undergrad courses on QM, so I would like something focusing on path integral (maybe some problems too). I don't necessary want a book, even some online pdf that contains some good introduction to this would be good (I prefer something free for now if possible).
Thank you!

Not sure whether these are at the level you are looking at but these are free (I do not have any personal experience with these)

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!

Thread 'How is Jackson’s Electrodynamics taught during undergraduate?'

I’ve heard that in some countries (for example, Argentina), the curriculum is structured differently from the typical American program. In the U.S., students usually take a general physics course first, then move on to a textbook like Griffiths, and only encounter Jackson at the graduate level. In contrast, in those countries students go through a general physics course (such as Resnick-Halliday) and then proceed directly to Jackson. If the slower, more gradual approach is considered...
