Tyler, what can PF members gain from that website? Looks to me it's just an ad for his books.
 
It has quite a bit

of free and very instructional material that is well presented. The one on the Feynman sum-over-histories is expecially good.

Here's the link to that;

I wish I had seen this website 4 years ago. I taught a course from those books (Spactime Physics/Scouting Black Holes) as a grad student and I had to develop it from scratch (it was a new course). Now, here Taylor has a whole set of lecture notes for it. D'oh!
 
Good website. I'll have to read that Feynman sum over paths integral paper in depth when I get a chance.
