Path Integral Methods and Applications
by Richard MacKenzie
Publisher: arXiv 2000
Number of pages: 55
Description:
These lectures are intended as an introduction to the technique of path integrals and their applications in physics. The audience is mainly first-year graduate students, and it is assumed that the reader has a good foundation in quantum mechanics. No prior exposure to path integrals is assumed, however.

Quantum Field Theory and Functional Integrals
by Nima Moshayedi - arXiv.org
We describe Feynman's path integral approach to quantum mechanics and quantum field theory from a functional integral point of view, where focus lies in Euclidean field theory. Gaussian measure and the construction of the Wiener measure are covered.

The Path Integral Approach to Quantum Mechanics
by Matthias Blau
These are notes for part of a course on advanced quantum mechanics given to 4th year physics students. The only prerequisites, however, are a basic knowledge of the Schroedinger and Heisenberg pictures of standard quantum mechanics.

Path Integrals in Quantum Theories: A Pedagogic First Step
by Robert D. Klauber - QuantumFieldTheory.info
It is far easier for students to learn QFT first by the canonical quantization method, and then move on to the path integral approach. This text will help such students, as well as those who are forced to begin their study of QFT via path integrals.
