Elementary particle physics addresses the question, “What is matter made of?” on the most fundamental level—which is to say, on the smallest scale of size. It’s a remarkable fact that matter at the subatomic level consists of tiny chunks,

Unlike Newton’s mechanics, or Maxwell’s electrodynamics, or Einstein’s relativity, quantum theory was not created—or even definitively packaged—by one individ-ual, and it retains to this day some of the scars of its exhilarating but traumatic youth. There is no general consensus as to what its fundamental principles are, how it should be taught, or...
x Preface instructors, for example, may wish to treat time-independent perturbation theory immediately after Chapter 2. This book is intended for a one-semester or one-year course at the junior or senior level. A one-semester course will have to concentrate mainly on Part I; a full-year course should have room for supplementary material beyond Part...
suggested that I offer a “Michelin Guide” to the problems, with varying numbers of stars to indicate the level of difficulty and importance. This seemed like a good idea (though, like the quality of a restaurant, the significance of a problem is partly a matter of taste); I have adopted the following rating scheme: ∗ an essential problem that every...
