Descrizione del libro

This book describes the use of the symbolic manipulation language REDUCE in particle physics. REDUCE is introduced in examples from classical physics, before challenging problems in quantum mechanics, QED, weak interactions, QCD, and radiative corrections are tackled. Many program listings, worked examples, problems, and references are also included. All example programs from the book can be downloaded via Internet, from http://www.inp.nsk.su/~grozin/book/.
