Covers the main topics in contemporary condensed matter physics, using quantum field theory in the functional-integral approach. This book highlights symmetry aspects in acknowledging that much of the collective behaviors of condensed matter systems at low temperatures emerge above a nontrivial ground state, which breaks the symmetry.
