Yesterday I started what is properly going to become my last course at University. It is an introductory course in Quantum Field Theory (QFT).
I tried following the same course two years ago, but skipped it after about two weeks as I didn’t manage to keep up with the reading and problems. Hopefully this time around things will be different. It is supposed to be a though course, with lots of heavy math – especially lots of nasty integrals to be calculated.
To top it all off the course home page reads
The course in quantum field theory has in the new structure degenerated
to a course lasting 7 weeks. This is probably the shortest course in
quantum field theory given at any university.Our Minister of Research (who’s main academic credentials seem
to be that he has introduced professional football in Denmark) demands
world class education.Even with a world class lecturer the combination clearly requires world class students. Well, guys…….
Will I be able to perform like a world class student for the next 7 weeks? Let’s hope so!
