Yeah, same here. It's unfortunate really. Which QFT text are you reading? I've just started Weinberg's book.

- akuma73 12y agoI'm working my way from the very start of my physics education with classical mechanics. What are the prereqs for QFT?
- KenoFischer 12y agoYou should probably have at least a good understanding of non-relativistic QM and special relativity. For the math parts a little bit of complex analysis helps, but any good book will explain the relevant parts.
- KenoFischer 12y agoWeinberg is pretty good. I also like Schwartz's new book, though I'm biased because I took his QFT class. The other book I really like is Peskin and Schroeder.
- jjaredsimpson 12y agoSrednicki's
- evanb 12y agoIf you don't have expertise in physics, Weinberg is extremely difficult to read---he uses notations that nobody else does, and its full of technicalities. A much more approachable first text for QFT is the book by Zee.
