BIC Classification: PHFC; PHP; PHQ; PHU. Category: (G) General (US: Trade); (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 253 x 194 x 30. Weight in Grams: 1120.
Quantum field theory is arguably the most far-reaching and beautiful physical theory ever constructed, with aspects more stringently tested and verified to greater precision than any other theory in physics. Unfortunately, the subject has gained a notorious reputation for difficulty, with forbidding looking mathematics and a peculiar diagrammatic language described in an array of unforgiving, weighty textbooks aimed firmly at aspiring professionals. However, quantum field theory is too important, too beautiful, and too engaging to be restricted to the professionals. This book on quantum field theory is designed to be different. It is written by experimental physicists and aims to ... Read more

Reviews for Quantum Field Theory for the Gifted Amateur
A refreshing hands-on approach ... [and] a tremendous resource to have to hand or perhaps to use as a textbook for a first course on QFT to a mixed audience.
