Abstract
Eleven years ago when I gave a set of lectures on path integrals — most prominently the Wiener and Feynman integrals — here in Schladming [1], this probabilistic approach played a rather marginal role in quantum physics, mainly as a compact but mostly formal reformulation of quantum (field) theory.
