The book is consistent with the objective set out, well written for graduate students and probably one of the best textbooks on the market about string theory and shall remain so for a long time. these two books are great and of excellent quality.

They are good, written by mathematicians for mathematicians (still good material on various topics.) Are there any other books that people know of at the level of these books? String theory describes how these strings propagate through space and interact with each other. On distance scales larger than the string scale, a string looks just like an ordinary particle, with its mass, charge, and other properties determined by the vibrational state of the string. —Lin-Manuel Miranda, The New York Times Book Review “A wonderful and inspiring collection for fans of either tennis or eye-popping prose.” —Austin American-Statesman “String Theory stands as a monument to Wallace’s talent—and his dedication to the game.” —Doug Perry, The Oregonian/The Spin of the Ball This book provides a concise introduction to string theory explaining central concepts, mathematical tools and covering recent developments in physics including compactifications and gauge/string dualities. With string theory being a multidisciplinary field interfacing with high energy physics, mathematics and quantum field theory, this book is Then this past May, Library of America came out with String Theory, a short volume of Wallace’s essays on tennis.

There has been much demand for a book about string theory at this level, and this one should go a long way towards meeting that demand.’ John Schwarz - California Institute of Technology ‘There is a great curiosity about string theory, not only among physics undergraduates but also among professional scientists outside of the field. In a rare blend of scientific insight and writing as elegant as the theories it explains, Greene, peels away the layers of mystery surrounding superstring theory to reveal a universe that consists of eleven dimensions, where the fabric of space tears and repairs itself, and all matter—from the smallest quarks to the most gargantuan supernovas—is generated by the vibrations of microscopically tiny loops of energy. String theory describes how these strings propagate through space and interact with each other. On distance scales larger than the string scale, a string looks just like an ordinary particle, with its mass, charge, and other properties determined by the vibrational state of the string.

String theory book

String theory is the hottest topic in physics right now, with books on the subject (pro and con) flying out of the stores. String Theory For Dummies offers an accessible introduction to this highly mathematical "theory of everything," which posits ten or more dimensions in an attempt to explain the basic nature of matter and energy.
