Could someone suggest a good book for elementary QFT and particle physics?(I don't know which to read first). I have very little idea about QFT. Could someone also tell me what maths knowledge is required?

You'll also need Fourier transforms before you start, and concurrently learning some group theory is helpful. P&S is a good place to start with group theory as well.

"Elementary QFT" refers to elementary quantum field theory, which is a branch of theoretical physics that studies the behavior of particles and fields at the quantum level. It combines the principles of quantum mechanics and special relativity to describe the interactions between particles and their corresponding fields.
These books are typically targeted towards elementary school-aged children, usually between the ages of 6-12. However, they can also be useful for older students or adults who are new to the subject and want a simplified introduction.
These books cover basic concepts and principles of quantum field theory, such as particles, fields, and interactions. They may also touch on related topics like special relativity and the Standard Model of particle physics. Some books may also include hands-on activities or experiments to help explain these complex concepts.
Yes, these books are designed for beginners and do not require any prior knowledge of quantum field theory or advanced mathematics. They are written in a simple and easy-to-understand language, making them accessible to readers of all ages and backgrounds.
Yes, these books can be a great resource for teachers looking to introduce their students to the basics of quantum field theory. They can be used as a supplement to textbooks or as a standalone teaching tool. Some books may even include lesson plans or activities for classroom use.
