It is unfortunate that UMass is closed until 11:00 today (Jan 29), especially when coupled with my being away next week. I had been counting on finishing the basic construction of a field today. I will adjust the plans for the classes and update you later today. I will put together an email list for everyone who signed up on Tuesday and will send around information that way. I will also post all info here. Enjoy the morning off, but check back later for more info.

Here is the  syllabus for the QFT course. I have also produced the video of the first class. Folks who are registered in the course can find both the notes from the class and the video on SPARK – log in here . While in general I will only post on SPARK, save for rare exceptions, I will also make the first few classes available on Screencast so that anyone can see them – for example if someone joins the class late. The Screencast version is posted here.

Finally, if you are interested in stopping by my office to chat (which I strongly encourage), you can see some of my official conflicts by consulting my Google calendar .
