Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes
Learning Outcomes of UE
Improve our understanding of space time. Show how group representations can help in constructing relativistic equations. Show how it predicts anti-matter. Show how equations can be formulated in terms of variational calulations. Introduce the notion of quantum field theory and its pertubative treatment. Compute tree level Feynmann diagrams
