    1. Supersymmetric quantum mechanics (susy QFT in d=1).
    2. Brief introduction to QFT.
    3. Path integral in d=0 dimensions: euclidean path integral, free theory, interacting theory, perturbative series, effective theory.
    4. Path integral in d=1 dimensions: transition amplitudes, correlators, partition function, path integral measure, free particle and harmonic oscillator.
    5. Localisation techniques for computing the path integral.
    6. Non-perturbative corrections to the partition function, instantons.
    7. Topology and path integral.
