The '''''Course of Theoretical Physics''''' is a ten-volume series of books covering [[theoretical physics]] that was initiated by [[Lev Landau]] and written in collaboration with his student [[Evgeny Lifshitz]] starting in the late 1930s.
 
It is said that Landau composed much of the series in his head while in an [[NKVD]] prison in 1938-19391938–1939.<ref>

The original edition wascomprised two books, labelled part 1 and part 2. The first hadcovered general aspects of [[relativistic quantum mechanics]] and relativistic [[quantum field theory]], leading onto [[quantum electrodynamics]]. The second continued on with quantum electrodynamics and what was then known about the [[strong interaction|strong]] and [[weak interaction]]s. These books were published in the early 1970s, at a time when the strong and weak forces were still not well understood. In the second edition, the corresponding sections were scrapped and replaced with more topics in the well-established quantum electrodynamics, and the two parts were unified into one, thus providing a one-volume exposition on relativistic quantum field theory with the electromagnetic interaction as the prototype of a quantum field theory.
