SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on recommendations for books and resources related to particle physics. Key suggestions include "Okun, Leptoni i Kvarki" for Russian readers and "A Very Short Introduction to Particle Physics" by Oxford University Press for English speakers. Participants emphasize the importance of a foundational understanding of quantum mechanics before delving into particle physics. Additionally, David Tong's lectures are highlighted as an accessible introduction to the Standard Model's phenomenology.
