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

[bhobba]

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 I already know, but it is not presented as rigorously as in the textbook from which I learned it. As an aside, being for mathematicians, I don't know why they don't do it as a mathematician would.

Thanks

Let me guess, the standard math style «definition, theorem, corrolary» is not there.
