Quantum Good book for quantum field theory?

AI Thread Summary
For those seeking quality resources on quantum field theory, "Quantum Field Theory for the Gifted Amateur" by Lancaster and Blundell is highly recommended, particularly for upper-level physics majors and graduate students not specializing in high-energy physics. Additionally, "Quantum Field Theory and the Standard Model" by Schwartz is suggested for a more advanced understanding. A closed thread linked within the discussion also contains valuable book recommendations worth exploring.

I like "Quantum Field Theory for the Gifted Amateur" by Lancaster and Blundell. Don't be mislead by the title, as this book is meant for upper-level physics majors, and for physics grad students who might not be specializing in high-energy physics.

At a higher level, I like "Quantum Field Theory and the Standard Model" by Schwartz.

Thread '"WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians'

The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...

Thread 'Books with a more theoretical approach to turbulence and DNS'

I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
