完全数学风格讲解,符合我口味。但是,抽象指标去死吧。

Another good book - but this book take quite some time to get used to the formulism here.

先有math structure 再有physical principles 之所以给人以抽象的感觉并不是其数学形式 而是论述手法 妙哉!

真是一本名著啊,不得不承认难度还是很大的,在400多页的篇幅cover到这么多内容,学习的时候要结合梁书的注解和一些文献才能全部读完,真是不容易啊。场论有peskin,gr有wald!

速读,涵盖面非常广,信息密度大,初学可能会很辛苦。很多topic都覆盖了,包括奇点定理,因果结构,甚至spinor。不愧是经典教材,但感觉更适合学完一遍按需查找的工具书。
