Over the course of my studies, I have amassed a large quantity of notes and summaries. Over time, I will try to upload as many as possible – it'd be nice if they were all in one place.

## QED: The Strange Theory, by <NAME>

[QED Chapters 1 and 2](https://reasonabledeviations.files.wordpress.com/2016/02/qed-chapters-1-and-2.pdf "QED Chapters 1 and 2")

[QED Chapters 3 and 4](https://reasonabledeviations.files.wordpress.com/2016/02/qed-chapters-3-and-4.pdf "QED Chapters 3 and 4")

A few years ago I read 'Surely You're Joking, Mr Feynman', and since then fell in love with Feynman's style of teaching physics. 'QED: A Strange Theory' is a semi-technical book in which Feynman discusses the physics substantively rather than just talking about physics as a discipline. Just to clarify, I have no complaint whatsoever with him talking about physics from a more 'meta' point of view, as was done in 'The Character of Physical Law'. I read the book, and loved it. He doesn't sacrifice any of his characteristic charm, while still explaining the counterintuitive theory. This book was transcribed from a series of lectures ([available on youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLQ2atfqk2c)), so is naturally quite verbose.
