Feynman diagrams
Complete calculations of Green's functions is a rather formidable task. Even the basic imaginary time evolution operator itself is an infinite series to all orders in the interaction Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle V(τ)} . One can simply get lost in the dozens of integrals; his physical intuition also doesn't get things any better. Feynman diagrams are both an exact mathematical representation of perturbation theory in infinite order and a powerful pictorial method showing in a unique way the physical content of a given expression.
