[pdf] Using REDUCE in High Energy Physics A. G. Grozin

This book describes the use of the language REDUCE in particle physics, which is a powerful and convenient mathematics package for a wide range of problems. This book introduces the physicist interested in high-energy physics to REDUCE and demonstrates its utility as a mathematical tool in physics. The first chapter of the book describes the REDUCE system, including some library packages. The following chapters show the use of REDUCE in examples from classical mechanics, hydrodynamics, general relativity, and quantum mechanics The rest of the book systematically presents the Standard Model of particle physics (QED, weak interactions, QCD). A large number of scattering and decay processes are calculated with REDUCE. All example programs from the book can be downloaded via Internet. The emphasis throughout is on learning through worked examples.
