To learn the basics of quantum field theory: (1) Its conceptual meaning and its organization as a theory defined by an energy scale; (2) technical tools for computation of observables in perturbation theory (with scalar field theories and quantum electrodynamics being the main examples) with emphasis on the Hamiltonian formalism and its connection to path integrals and Feynman diagrams (3) some topics in QFT beyond perturbation theory

授業の方法
Lectures, class discussions, class project possibly.
成績評価方法
Some combination of: level of enthusiasm, attendance, class participation, as well as problem sets, quizzes and/or exams.
履修上の注意
Attend the lectures and take notes! I will assign problem sets for practice. Those are mostly for practice rather than
evaluation. I will also hold regular office hours. It is important that you come to office hours if there is anything you
do not understand in the lecture. I will very happily discuss it.
