Abstract
The radiative corrections involved in the precise determination of the electroweak mixing angle measured at the Z-peak are reviewed in detail, with particular emphasis on the new calculation of two-loop heavy top effects. This example serves as a brief pedagogical introduction to the problems and techniques of higher order electroweak calculations.
