Contents
Most homework problems are from Schwartz's Quantum Field Theory and
the Standard Model.
Homework problems labelled "PS" are from Peskin and Schroeder's
Introduction to Quantum Field Theory.
An asterisk (*) indicates that the problem has been modified.
A question mark (?) indicates that the problem has not been finalized.
Homework problems are usually due on Thursday by the end of class.
(If you haven't finished all the homework, hand in what you have finished
to avoid a late penalty.
If you don't make it to class, slip your homework under the door of the
instructor's office.)
