These tutorial notes explore the evolution of quantum mechanics from stationary action principles to Schwinger's Quantum Action Principle and Feynman's path-integral formulation. Part I highlights their connection and applications, while Part II covers the variational formulation of quantum electrodynamics and source theory development.
