Providing a pedagogical introduction to the essential principles of path integrals and Hamiltonians, this book describes cutting-edge quantum-mathematical techniques applicable to a vast range of fields, from quantum mechanics, solid-state physics, statistical mechanics, quantum field theory and superstring theory to financial modelling, polymers, biology, chemistry and quantum finance. The powerful and flexible combination of Hamiltonian operators and path integrals is used to study a range of different quantum and classical random systems. With a practical emphasis on the methodological and mathematical aspects of each derivation, this introduction to these mathematical methods is suitable for researchers and graduate students in physics and engineering.
