Are there books on Regularization and Renormalization, in the context of quantum field theory at an Introductory level? Could you suggest one?

Added: I posted at math.SE the question Reference request: Introduction to mathematical theory of Regularization and accepted this answer by Willie Wong.

Check out the following 3 articles and 2 books:

  1. Regularization Renormalization and Dimensional Analysis: Dimensional Regularization meets Freshman E&M Published in the american journal of physics (can be found also on hep-ph, but slightly different with less references)
  2. Regularization, from Murayama's course of QFT at Berkeley
  3. A Hint of Renormalization
  4. A more general detailed, still introductory, treatment including renormalization would be the book Renormalization Methods: A Guide For Beginners
  5. A. Zee's book QFT in a Nutshell

Anyway, I hope that was useful

See also my tutorial paper Renormalization without infinities - a tutorial, which discusses renormalization on a much simpler level than quantum field theory.
