Description Student Friendly Quantum Field Theory By Robert D. Klauber Sandtrove Press | March 2013 | ISBN-10: 0984513922 | scanned PDF | 544 pages | 29.5 mb http://www.amazon.com/Student-Friendly-Quantum-Field-Theory/dp/0984513922 By incorporating extensive student input and innovative teaching methodologies, this book aims to make the process of learning quantum field theory easier, and thus more rapid, profound, and efficient, for both students and instructors. Comprehensive explanations are favored over conciseness, every step in derivations is included, and ‘big picture’ overviews are provided throughout. The book focuses on the canonical quantization approach, but also provides an introductory chapter on path integrals. It covers fundamental principles of quantum field theory, then develops quantum electrodynamics in depth.
