Class Times: The class meets in ARC 212, third period. (noon-1:20 PM). Classes will start promptly, so please come on time.

I expect to follow Peskin and Schroeder pretty closely, except near the beginning and the end of the course. See the Syllabus for details. Of course, there are many other useful books which give alternate presentations or treat subjects in more depth. A list of some of them are here

Syllabus: The material to be covered is, roughly speaking, what is in Peskin and Schroeder, Chapters 2-7, plus parts of chapters 11, 16 and 20. For details, see the syllabus. There may be some changes as we go along.
