Homework and Tests for Quantum Field Theory

Dr. Kaplunovsky's Class

All assignments are available in 4 formats, use whichever you like (or whichever your software likes).

TeX

Plain TeX (not LaTeX) source of the problem set. Needs phyzzx macros.

DVI

Device-independent TeX output.

PDF

Adobe Portable Document Format. Uses scalable fonts, so should work for both screen viewing and printing.

PS

Postscript. Uses scalable fonts, so should work for both screen viewing and printing.

Source

TeX source, DVI and all the eps pictures tarred together and gzipped. This format replaces separate TeX and DVI formats when eps pictures are present.
