Quantum field theory, Lecture 1

UPDATE Lecture notes available! https://github.com/avstjohn/qft Many thanks to Dr. Alexander St. John! This winter semester (2016-2017) I am giving a course on quantum field theory. This course is intended for theorists with familiarity with advanced quantum mechanics and statistical physics. The main objective is introduce the building blocks of quantum electrodynamics. Here in Lecture 1 I discuss what a relativistic theory is.
