An Invitation to Quantum Field Theory [E-Book] / by Luis Alvarez-Gaume, Miguel A. Vázquez-Mozo
This book provides an introduction to Quantum Field Theory (QFT) at an elementary level-with only special relativity, electromagnetism and quantum mechanics as prerequisites. For this fresh approach to teaching QFT, based on numerous lectures and courses given by the authors, a representative sample...
