In the excitement and rapid pace of developments, writing pedagogical textshas low priority for most researchers. However, in transforming my lecturenotesI into this book, I found a personal benefit: the organization of what Iunderstand in a (hopefully simple) logical sequence. Very little in this textis my original contribution. Most of the knowledge was collected from theresearch literature. Some was acquired by conversations with colleagues; akind of physics oral tradition passed between disciples of a similar faith.For many years, diagramatic perturbation theory has been the majortheoretical tool for treating interactions in metals, semiconductors, itiner-ant magnets, and superconductors.
