General class info
Tentative syllabus


Go here for homework assignments.


News:

The class will meet Mon and Wed from 4:00 - 5:15 pm in Rob 122.

Office hours will be Mon and Fri, 12:30-2. I'm also happy to chat anytime I'm free.

My lecture notes (the class text) will be available from a local copy shop soon.

No class on Mon Oct 7 or Wed Oct 9.

Although most are at the library, I have not put them on reserve, so please be polite to your classmates and don't check them out unless you absolutely must (in which case, return them ASAP).

All of the books above are oriented towards high-energy theory. A few that are oriented towards QFT in condensed matter physics are
