Abstract
In these Lectures, the “Infrared (IR) Method” for extracting relevant low-frequency behavior is described for four-dimensional QED and QCD, using different techniques appropriate to the different theories. The subjects briefly covered are the following.

Pedagogical discussions of functional methods can now be found in many places, e.g. the text Quantum Field Theory, by C. Itzykson and J-B Zuber, (McGraw-Hill, 1980). To the author’s best knowledge, such material first appeared in the monographs Field Theory, by J. Rzewuski, (PWN Publishers, 1972), and Functional Methods and Models in Quantum Field Theory, by H.M. Fried ( MIT Press, 1972 ). Detailed descriptions of topics touched upon in the first Section of the present lecture may be found in the latter reference.
