Reddit mentions of Field Theory : A Modern Primer (Frontiers in Physics Series, Vol 74)

I gathered as much. For some reason our class started from the path integral formalism, which I felt gave me a really good insight into the connections between quantum and classical realms. No one ever bothered to explain what any of these parameters we were integrating were, not even the book.... or if it did I missed it why trying to wrap my head around the mathematics. (we used this book, http://www.amazon.com/Field-Theory-Modern-Frontiers-Physics/dp/0201304503 and the author was the professor) The only thing I got from that was a really good appreciation for classical mechanics and a true insight to an genius people like Dirac actually were. I still need to wrap my head around the concept of a integrating over all field configurations, but hopefully I can get this now.
