Quantum Mechanics and Field Theory Georgia Tech PHYS-7147 spring 2003 Tue, Thu 09:35-10:55 Howey S204 Reading: Cyclist guide (my lecture notes, course homepage): most of chapter 3, in particular current sect 3.2.2, p. 33 "Saddle point expansions are asymptotic", current sect 3.3, p. 35 "Feynman diagrams" Field Theory book (see course or my homepage) Sections 2.A-2.D Assignement 2: Path integral for harmonic oscillator; Feynman diagrams -------------------------------------- 1) Help your fellow student, due morning Tue Feb 11 2003: ------------------------ Mark in red or some other color your suggestions how to fix up or improve your class colleague's essay on the path integral quantization of a harmonic oscillator (do not worry about grading, we will take care of that part) 2) Exercises, due morning Tue Feb 11 2003: --------- Field Theory book (see course or my homepage) 2.B.1, 2.D.1, 2.D.2, 2.D.3, 2.E.3 3) Browny points: ------------- Cyclist guide (my lecture notes, course homepage): exercises 3.2, 3.5 (current p. 45) My lecture notes have lots of typos, and instances where the same text is unnecessarily repeated in several places. Sometimes they are plain wrong. If you catch some of these, please give me your corrections marked on the current version, and I'll give you the edited version back as soon as I can. So far I have not received 1 (one) helpful remark from any of you, excellent and highly gifted gentlemen. OK, for really good corrections you get not only extra problem set points, but also a bottle of imported Danish Carlsberg. Perhaps the best beer in the world, as their adds add optimisticlly. Predrag
