What Level Is Griffiths' Particle Physics Book?

Click For Summary
Griffiths' particle physics book is designed for readers with a solid understanding of quantum mechanics, specifically at a level slightly above his own quantum mechanics textbook. It is suitable for upper-level undergraduates or low-level graduate students. The upcoming edition is anticipated to maintain this level of rigor. Readers should be prepared for a challenging yet manageable experience, particularly if they have concurrently studied quantum mechanics.

at what level is griffiths particle physics book at, what does it expect you to know as a prerequisite?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Quantum Mechanics, at the level slighlty higher than his QM .book

A new edition of his particle physics book is coming in a cuople of months.
 
I actually took a particle physics class as an undergrad (it was a low level grad/upper level undergrad difficulty) concurrently with QM using Griffiths QM and Particle Physics respectively. It took a little extra effort, but it was fine.

I hope that gives you some information.
