Here is a list of questions that have been posted in the past concerning Peskin & Schroeder, An Introduction to Quantum Field Theory. If you have a question about the book, you can look here first to see if it has already been answered. One caveat, sometimes the page numbering that I used can be arbitrary. If there is a question on a page near your page, you should look there just in case.

Here is the errata page for the book:

Here is a summary of the chapters by Patrick Van Esch (PF member vanesch) along with problem solutions.

How can I use PF as a resource?

PF can be used as a resource by reading it as a textbook, referring to it for specific questions or topics, or using it as a reference for problem-solving in quantum field theory.

Is PF suitable for beginners?

While PF is considered to be a standard textbook for quantum field theory, it is not recommended for beginners. It assumes a strong background in mathematics and physics, and may be overwhelming for those new to the subject.

Are there any alternative resources to PF for studying quantum field theory?

Yes, there are several alternative resources for studying quantum field theory, including other textbooks such as "An Introduction to Quantum Field Theory" by Michael E. Peskin and Daniel V. Schroeder, online lecture notes and videos, and other reference books.

Can PF be used for self-study?

Yes, PF can be used for self-study, but it is recommended to have a strong background in mathematics and physics and to supplement with other resources. It is also helpful to have a study group or instructor to discuss and clarify difficult concepts.
