There are a lot of books dealing with Feynman path integrals. Are there any online courses introducing Feynman path integrals and their applications?

    This question (v3) seems to have a never-ending list of possible answers, cf. this meta post. – Qmechanic Mar 01 '16 at 00:40
  • Hi Nex_Friedrich, Res. recom. questions are restricted on Phys.SE because they tend to be too broad primarily opinion-based list questions. I'm closing this list question as a duplicate, not because it is an exact duplicate, but to point in the right direction. – Qmechanic Mar 02 '16 at 11:38

I have gone through these lectures and enjoyed them.

The layout of the course is pretty much this:

  • Construction of Q.M. Path Integral
  • Euclidean Path Integral, Connection with S.M.
  • Path Integral of a Scalar Field
  • Feynman Rules resulting from the Path Integral treatment
  • Generating Functionals / 1-loop Effective Actions
  • Renormalization of Scalar Theory
  • Grassmann Calculus & Fermionic Path Integrals
  • Non Abelian Gauge Theory
  • Gauge Fixing the Path Integral, Faddeev-Popov Determinant & Ghosts
  • Renormalization of Non-Abelian Gauge Theory

If you are looking for a full semester course online, the Urbana campus at the University of Illinois offers a good calc sequence online called Netmath, and they cover working with and applications of path integrals.

Or are you looking for something shorter, or free, or cheaper:

There are some online textbooks/notes pages from various colleges as well as interactive graphing of line integrals. Others are non-interactive like e-textbooks, many free or free to subscribing universities. Possibly supplemented by something like Wolfram Alpha online to check answers and work on basic integrals.
