Preface
Motivation for This Series
First of all, we want to point out that this book is by no means meant pete
with or take the place of any of the standard quantum field theory, particle physics,
or mathematics texts currently available. There are too many outstanding choices to
try to add yet another to the list. Our goal is, simply put, to teach physicists the math
that is used in particle physics.
The origin of this goal is the plight of upper-level undergraduate and first/second
year graduate students in physics, especially those in theory
