son for the magnificent cover art. I thank Eanna Flanagan, Eric Siggia,
Saul Teukolsky, David Nelson, Paul Ginsparg, Vinay Ambegaokar, Neil
Ashcroft, David Mermin, Mark Newman, Kurt Gottfried, Chris Hen-
ley, Barbara Mink, Tom Rockwell, Csaba Csaki, Peter Lepage, and Bert
Halperin for helpful and insightful conversations. Eric Grannan, Piet
Brouwer, Michelle Wang, Rick James, Eanna Flanagan, Ira Wasser-
man, Dale Fixsen, Rachel Bean, Austin Hedeman, Nick Trefethen, Sarah
Shandera, Al Sievers, Alex Gaeta, Paul Ginsparg, John Guckenheimer,
Dan Stein, and Robert Weiss were of important assistance in develop-
ing various exercises. My approach to explaining the renormalization
group (Chapter 12) was developed in collaboration with Karin Dah-
men, Chris Myers, and Olga Perković. The students in my class have
been instrumental in sharpening the text and debugging the exercises;
Jonathan McCoy, Austin Hedeman, Bret Hanlon, and Kaden Hazzard
in particular deserve thanks. Adam Becker, Surachate (Yor) Limkumn-
erd, Sarah Shandera, Nick Taylor, Quentin Mason, and Stephen Hicks,
in their roles of proofreading, grading, and writing answer keys, were
powerful filters for weeding out infelicities. I thank Joel Shore, Mohit
Randeria, Mark Newman, Stephen Langer, Chris Myers, Dan Rokhsar,
Ben Widom, and Alan Bray for reading portions of the text, providing
invaluable insights, and tightening the presentation. I thank Julie Harris
at Oxford University Press for her close scrutiny and technical assistance
in the final preparation stages of this book. Finally, Chris Myers and I
spent hundreds of hours together developing the many computer exer-
cises distributed through this text; his broad knowledge of science and
computation, his profound taste in computational tools and methods,
and his good humor made this a productive and exciting collaboration.
The errors and awkwardness that persist, and the exciting topics I have
missed, are in spite of the wonderful input from these friends and col-
leagues.
I especially thank Carol Devine, for consultation, insightful comments
and questions, and for tolerating the back of her spouse’s head for per-
haps a thousand hours over the past two years.
