 Abstract: In quantum field theory the “normal ordering” of operators is routinely used, which amounts to shuffling all creation operators to the left. Potentially confusing is the occurrence in the literature of normal-ordered functions, sometimes called “Wick transforms.” In this paper, we introduce the reader to some basic results, ideas, and mathematical subtleties about normal ordering of operators and functions. The intended audience are instructors of quantum field theory and researchers who are interested but not specialists in mathematical physics.
