A First Course in String Theory.

MathematicalPhysicist · Jul 13, 2014

Hi, if you remember back a decade ago we had a discussion on solutions to the first edition of Zwiebach's undergraduate textbook in string theory. (I have a copy of the solutions in my computer).

Does someone have solutions to the updated second edition of the textbook? I tried looking for solutions but to no avail.

I plan after I am done with QFT (I am thinking of also reading Eberhard Ziedler's textbook, though I am kind of worried because I read that for its third volume it has quite a lot of typos, and could irritate espeically when it's a 1000 pages book :cry:

(it's sarcastic cry :-)), and GR to start from Zwiebach and Gambini's UG texts in string and lqg.

Cheers!

I'm sorry you are not generating any responses at the moment. Is there any additional information you can share with us? Any new findings?
