…there's a lot of material. this book was actually suggested to me here https://www.amazon.com/Renormalization-Methods-William-David... two good (Gentle) senior undergrad books are https://www.amazon.com/Student-Friendly-Quantum-Field-Theory... https://www.amazon.com/Field-Quantization-Walter-Greiner/dp/... and then there's always griffiths https://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Elementary-Particles-Dav... note that you don't need to read…
on “How Feynman Diagrams Revolutionized Physics” ↗Another great book at that level is Student friendly Quantum Field Theory by Klauber. Especially if you struggle with the incomplete math treatments in standard books like Peskin & Schroeder, where the first chapter basically assumes you already know all the weird complex contour…
on “What is quantum field theory and why is it incomplete?” ↗…Uncertainty: Heisenberg, Quantum Physics, and the Bomb Found full of BS, did not finish: - Noam Chomsky, Understanding Power Textbooks: - order of 10^3 pages of Open University textbooks - Klauber, Student Friendly Quantum Field Theory - Feynman & Hibbs, Quantum Mechanics and Path Integrals - Wald, General Relativity (5 chapters) - Peskin & Schroeder, An Introduction to Quantum Field Theory (5 chapters) Not as bad as I felt before…
