This systematic algebraic approach covers statistical mechanics, quantum field theory, and mathematical physics. In addition to a careful formulation of the problems' physical motivations, it features self-contained descriptions of the mathematical methods for arriving at solutions. Readers thus learn the vocabulary and physical bases of the theory. 1972 edition.
Reprint of the Wiley-Interscience, New York, 1972 edition.
