Volumes 1 and 2 of Student Friendly QFT

Important Note about Editions and Revisions

Thanks to copious feedback from readers, many error corrections and pedagogic improvements have been made in each revision to Vol. 1 and Vol. 2. (See Corrections page for Vol. 1, for example.)  To avoid the tedium and time consumption of having to incorporate these into your copy of either volume, you may want to consider buying the latest version.

Ensuring You Get the Latest Version of Each Book

All new copies of each volume now being sold are the latest version (Vol. 1 Sept 2022 revision date; Vol. 2 June 2022) even though you will see a date advertised for each that is for the original publication year (2013 for Vol. 1; 2021 for Vol. 2).

If you buy a new, rather than used, copy of either volume, you will be assured of getting the latest version. You can find the revision date on the reverse side of the title page at the beginning of the book.

Keeping the Various Versions of the Books Straight

Changes to Various Revisions

Changes in each revision of each book incorporate many suggestions made by readers of the prior version to help make certain material clearer and the learning process easier. All of the changes to any version of the books included in any subsequent version are available and downloadable from the corrections link on the home page of the website for the books, www.quantumfieldtheory.info.

Things to Note about the Revisions

All equation, page, and section numbers in each new edition or revision have the same numbers in the subsequent revisions, except for one minor exception in Vol. 1 Chap. 7. (See Preface to 2nd Edition for details.)

Thus, readers of one version of the book can communicate readily with readers of another version when referencing particular equations, sections, and/or page numbers.
