Produktbeschreibung

The aim of this classic work by Richard Feynman is to present the main results and calculational procedures of quantum electrodynamics in as simple and straight-forward a way as possible. It is designed for the student of experimental physics who does not intend to take more advanced graduate courses in theoretical physics. The material consists of notes on the third of a three-semester course given at the California Institute of Technology.
