Hello, everybody.

I'm new in this forum, so I didn't know where to post this, but it's concerned to some guidance I'm needing for learning more physics. Here's an explanation: I discovered some passion for quantum physics, and I'd like to learn more about quantum electrodynamics. Actually, my career is a little deviated from physics (at this level), since it's electronic engineering, but I want to learn more about physics to comprehend QED phenomena.

So, basically, what I'm asking is an advice to know where to start, what kind of books I need to start reading for the comprehension of QED. Remember that I'm an electronics student, so, I already know I need to learn of electrodynamics, but, what is the best book to start from?

I'd be very thankful if you give me advices.

Bye.

Thanks, I'll start reading those books. Though, one of them is advanced quantum mechanics.
 
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
