    Expanding delta in Field Theory Derivation of Euler-Lagrange Equations

    Every time I try to read Peskin & Schroeder I run into a brick wall on page 15 (section 2.2) when they quickly derive the Euler-Lagrange Equations in classical field theory. The relevant step is this: \frac{∂L}{∂(∂_{μ}\phi)} δ(∂_{μ}\phi) = -∂_{μ}( \frac{∂L}{∂(∂_{μ}\phi)}) δ(\phi) + ∂_{μ}...
