Contemporary quantum field theory is mainly developed as quantization of
classical fields. Classical field theory thus is a necessary step towards quan-

of Lagrangian classical field theory and its BRST extension for the purpose
of quantization.
Lagrangian theory of Grassmann-graded (even and odd) fields on fi
