Abstract
Even the uninitiated will know that Quantum Field Theory cannot be introduced systematically in just four lectures. I try to give a reasonably connected outline of part of it, from second quantization to the path-integral technique in Euclidean space, where there is an immediate connection with the rules for Feynman diagrams and the partition function of Statistical Mechanics.
