Class Objectives
/Class Outline
QFT which is useful for the study of the phenomena of  particle, astrophysics, and material science will
be lectured.  QFT based on both canonical quantization and path-integral  will be treated.
The Feynman rule is derived from QFT.  The concept of effective action, effective potential, and
generating functional for Green function will be explained. In order to grasp the contents above,
appropriate examples from particle physics, astrophysics, and material science are selected.
