Are there books on Regularization and Renormalization in QFT at an Introductory level?

Question

Are there books on Regularization and Renormalization, in the context of quantum field theory at an Introductory level? Could you suggest one?

Added: I posted at math.SE the question Reference request: Introduction to mathematical theory of Regularization and accepted this answer by Willie Wong.

Check out the following 3 articles and 2 books:

Anyway, I hope that was useful

Thanks! It is useful indeed. I think the example of the infinite line of charge in the 1st article is a good starting point for me (as a retired electrical engineer) to learn with time this subject. – Américo Tavares Aug 07 '11 at 21:18
I have updated the 1st link, please recheck it, also here is another link for the same article which looks like slides for a talk http://www.hep.wisc.edu/cteq11/lectures/Olness_DimReg.pdf – Revo Aug 07 '11 at 21:34

Hadn't seen it before, but that note from the Berkeley QFT class is outstanding! – Gerben Aug 08 '11 at 13:50

See also my tutorial paper Renormalization without infinities - a tutorial, which discusses renormalization on a much simpler level than quantum field theory.

@JoseJavierGarcia Thanks for the link to your paper! I have seen your comment now. – Américo Tavares May 01 '15 at 22:41
