An excellent book to start learning QFT April 17, 2007
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I wish more technical books could be written like this. Its emphasis is understanding, not getting bogged down in the calculations. An excellent book to get clear answers.
HOWEVER, be careful!!! If you are learning quantum field theory for the first time then you might learn perturbation theory either in terms the Hamiltonian picture or the path integral picture. This book takes the path integral picture and if you don't know anything about path integrals you might want to do some background reading into Feynman and Hibbs etc. Also, I you are learning the Hamiltonian perturbation then this book might confuse at first and won't aid your studies directly at first.
Let me say again, after reading this book you will really feel like you have learned without too much effort. It won't be such an uphill struggle as some books are (Peskin and Shroeder). If you don't mind starting with learning QFT in terms of path integrals (which is the fun way I think) then this is the book for you but if you are buying this to supplement a course at university then check first which picture you are going to learn about and maybe stick to that picture... at first.
