Perturbative and Nonperturbative Aspects of Quantum Field Theory

The book addresses graduate students as well as scientists interested in applications of the standard model for strong and electroweak interactions to experimentally determinable quantities. Computer simulations and the relations between various approaches to quantum field theory, such as perturbative methods, lattice methods and effective theories, are also discussed.
