Graduate students who want to become familiar with advanced computational strategies in classical and quantum dynamics will find here both the fundamentals of a standard course and a detailed treatment of the time-dependent oscillator, Chern-Simons mechanics, the Maslov anomaly and the Berry phase, to name a few. Well-chosen and detailed examples illustrate the perturbation theory, canonical transformations, the action principle and demonstrate the usage of path integrals.
This new edition has been revised and enlarged with chapters on quantum electrodynamics, high energy physics, Green’s functions and strong interaction.
“This book is a brilliant exposition of dynamical systems covering the essential aspects and written in an elegant manner. The book is written in modern language of mathematics and will ideally cater to the requirements of graduate and first year Ph.D. students…a wonderful introduction to any student who wants to do research in any branch of theoretical Physics.”

During the past two decades, our monograph has served as an invaluable pedagogical
source for students and teachers alike, who have used it to become more
familiar with classical and quantum dynamics using path integrals, Schwinger’s
quantum action principle, functional methods, Berry’s phase and Chern–Simons
mechanics, to mention just a few topics. In addition to correcting some minor
typos in the previous edition, we have added two more topics, namely a detailed
study of quantum electrodynamics using path integrals and an introduction to the
Schwinger–Fock proper time method to work out in all details the effective action
of an electron in a harmonic classical electric field
