Using examples from across the sub-disciplines of physics, this Introduction shows why Effective Field theories are the language in which physical laws are written.
To bring the subject within reach of scientists with a wide variety of backgrounds and interests, there are clear physical explanations, rigorous derivations, and exten.
The tools of Effective Field theory are demonstrated using worked examples from areas including particle, nuclear, atomic, condensed matter and gravitational physics.
