QUANTUM FIELD THEORY FOR THE GIFTED AMATEUR - T...

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 
quantumfield 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 provide the interested amateur with a bridge from
undergraduate physics to quantumfield theory. The imagined reader is a gifted amateur 
possessing a curious and adaptable mind  looking to be told an entertaining and intellectually
stimulating story  but who will not feel patronised if a few mathematical niceties are spelled
out in detail. Using numerous worked examples  diagrams  and careful physically motivated
explanations  this book will smooth the path towards understanding the radically different and
revolutionary view of the physical world that quantum field theoryprovides  and which all
physicists should have the opportunity to experience.
