Abstract
The radiative corrections involved in the precise determination of the electroweak mixing angle measured at the Z(0) peak are reviewed in de tail, with particular emphasis on the new calculation of two-loop heav y top effects. This example serves as a brief pedagogical introduction to the problems and techniques of higher order electroweak calculatio ns.
