Polchinski, String TheoryThis two volume work is the standard introduction to the subject. Our lectures willmore or less follow the path laid down in volume one covering the bosonic String . Thebook contains explanations and descriptions of many details that have been deliberately(and, I suspect, at times inadvertently) swept under a very large rug in these two covers the superstring. M. Green, J. Schwarz and E. Witten,Superstring TheoryAnother two volume set. It is now over 20 years old and takes a slightly old-fashionedroute through the subject, with no explicit mention of conformal field Theory . How-ever, it does contain much good material and the explanations are uniformly one is most relevant for these lectures.

Reason 1. String theory is a theory of quantum gravity String theory uni es Einstein’s theory of general relativity with quantum mechanics. Moreover, it does so in a manner that retains the explicit connection with both quantum theory and the low-energy description of spacetime. But quantum gravity contains many puzzles, both technical and ...

Electromagnetism - DAMTP

www.damtp.cam.ac.uk

At the atomic scale, electromagnetism (admittedly in conjunction with some basic quantum e ects) governs the interactions between atoms and molecules. It is the force that underlies the periodic table of elements, giving rise to all of chemistry and, through this, much of biology. It is the force which binds atoms together into solids and liquids.
