Quantum Field Theory 101
My Answer Attempts
These are my efforts to answer questions from Peskin and Schroeder's "An
Introduction to Quantum Field Theory".
- Be skeptical reading these answers.

- Generated with Texmacs, so it should look good.
P&S use natural units, where h = c = 1, and L = t = energy-1
= mass-1. This is a very good system, used extensively in high
energy physics. I have found it useful to include all the factors of h and
c. It requires me to think through everything more carefully, a very good
thing. You may ignore the units if you wish, but everything c should be there.
