Description: "This book gives a comprehensive guide to the use of series expansion methods for investigating phase transitions and critical phenomena, and lattice models of quantum magnetism, strongly correlated electron systems and elementary particles." "Early chapters cover the classical treatment of critical phenomena through high temperature expansions, and introduce graph theoretical and combinatorial algorithms. The book then discusses high-order linked-cluster perturbation expansions for quantum lattice models, finite temperature expansions and lattice gauge models. Also included are numerous detailed examples and case studies."--BOOK JACKET.
