Classic Oxford Blue cloth over boards with gilt titles at the front panel and blackstrip and an embossed Oxford Logo at the front panel. Hardcover: Lacks DJ. The aim of this book is to make accessible to mathematicians, physicists, and other scientists interested in quantum theory, the beautiful but mathematically difficult subjects of the Feynman integral and Feynman's operational calculus. There are many advantages to certain approaches to the Feynman integral which are discussed in detail and much of the material covered has only been previously available in research literature. This book not only brings together all the available background material in mathematics and physics that motivates the study of the Feynman integral and Feynman's operational calculus, it also includes detailed proofs for the central results and many new or recently discovered results in one complete volume.; Oxford Mathematical Monographs; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall; xviii, 771 pages.…

Review
Review from previous edition: The last chapter deals with other work related to the book's topics, ranging from alternative approaches to the path integral (so-called Fresnel integrals) to a very readable survey of the influence of Feynman integrals on contempary mathematics and physics. In particular, the authors discuss low dimensional topology and Edward Witten's approach to knot invariants, and they end with a discussion of Maxim Kontsevich's work on deformation quantization. I would recommend this book to serious students of the subject. (Physics Today)
The second one [part of the final chapter] is a most welcome presentation of recent extensions and applications of Feynman's approach to a whole range of physical models of major interest ... it is here that the power of Feynman's approach of inspiring both mathematicans and physicists is best evidentiated. (Zentrablatt Mathematik)
