Abstract:
In this talk, the recent breakthrough in two-loop perturbative calculations is reviewed, with emphasis on the applications to phenomenological studies. The recent precision measurement of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon by the Brookhaven g-2 collaboration is also used as an illustrative example of the importance of Standard Model precision perturbative calculations to further our understanding of Nature.
