MATH 705 Mechanics of interacting particles

The course gives an up-to-date and modern overview of the main concepts in the mechanics of interacting particles. Using the Lagrangian/Hamiltonian formalisms, the course continues with an axiomatic approach to quantum mechanics. Path integrals and path integral quantization of Bosonic and Fermionic particles are also treated. An introduction to gauge theories, the Higgs field and the Bosonic string theory are also given
