Quantum Field Theory, as Simply as Possible

What a masterpiece! Witty, informative, and fascinating. Technical notes at the end of chapters are very welcome. I wish everyone did that. I do data analytics / data science professionally, and being able to pick up a book and understand what’s happening at the frontiers of physics (which has always been my passion that I unfortunately did not follow) is to me incredible. Very thankful to the author for producing this masterpiece.

If the author is reading these reviews, I would like to thank him sincerely for writing this book. I am a social scientist by training. My field of study has nothing to do with quantum field theory. But I have always regretted not having taken the other path when I was 18, so finally I ordered this book once the popular science books were no longer satisfactory: I needed to understand the intuitive logic that informs the formulas and all the calculation that goes into explaining the behavior of an electron. Alas, this is THE book. Prof. Zee is highly entertaining too, and my husband was really wondering why I was LOL'ing while reading a book called Quantum Field Theory. I took this book to a camping trip with me. My son spilled water all over it so I ordered a second copy and I am dedicated to keep it dry and clean this time! I cannot recommend this book highly enough--if you have some background in calculus, things will make more sense. I now know what those Feynman diagrams mean and what Dirac did! Thanks a million for writing this book!

Fascinating, although school algebra would help. The writer has a wonderful sense of humour. I've bought another of his books too.

Ok
