aims
The Standard Model of particle physics and the theory of general relativity provide the most complete description of nature to date. However, when considering a given concrete system, it is often helpful to instead use an effective theory which only accounts for the physically relevant energy scales and degrees of freedom. Examples include the description of the hydrogen atom through nonrelativistic quantum mechanics and the prediction of planetary orbits in Newtonian mechanics.

In this lecture we construct effective field theories for a number of physical systems and show how to improve them systematically by taking into account corrections from more encompassing theories.
