Lectures on Quantum Field Theory by Dr. David Tong, High Energy Particle Physics Group, Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, University of Cambridge
The Department of Physics at Harvard Universtity has made available video recordings of lectures by the late Sidney Coleman for his graduate course Quantum Field Theory. The videos were recorded during the 1975-1976 academic year. In additon, handwritten lecture notes of the lectures are available as transcribed by Brian Hill. Each scanned file is about 6.5 MB in size.
