Aims and Objectives of the Course
This course is intended to give an introduction to some aspects
of many-particle systems, field theory and related ideas. These
form the basis of our current theoretical understanding of
particle physics, condensed matter and statistical physics. An
aim is to present some core ideas and important applications in
a unified way. These applications include the classical
mechanics of continuum systems, the quantum mechanics and
statistical mechanics of many-particle systems, and some basic
aspects of relativistic quantum field theory.
