String theory is one of the most complicated sciences being explored today. Not to worry though! This informative guide clearly explains the basics of this hot topic, discusses the theory’s …

These notes are not verbatim; I watched the lectures and reproduced them afterwards. Part I of this document follows the lecture series by Susskind titled “String theory and M-theory.” This is …

String theory can be considered a particular kind of particle theory, in that its modes of excitation correspond to different particles. All these particles, which differ in spin and other quantum …

Professor Zwiebach’s “A First Course in String Theory” is the main textbook for this course, which we’ll loosely follow (and have assigned readings and problems taken from).

All ingredients needed for the standard model appear from string theory: It produces scalars, fermions, gauge elds, interaction terms, but no actual string model has been constructed that …

String theory builds on the conceptual foundations that have been established in elementary particle physics in the 1970s. It is a quantum theory that aims at reproducing the interaction …

Students will be able to identify and describe the physical makeup, sound, and function for each instrument from the string family within an Orchestra and abroad.
