摘要:
Main concepts in critical phenomena such as universality, critical dimension, analogies with the statistics of polymers and scaling theory, together with renormalization group ideas and rudimentary methods in field theory are presented through the simple and intuitive properties of random walks. This work, which requires little previous knowledge of mathematics besides elementary calculus, has served as the basis of a program to introduce undergraduate students to research in theoretical physics.
