Prerequisites and introduction to string theory Can someone please give me the prerequisites and mathematics required for string theory? Are there some good references to study it, both online and in a book? Please consider I am a newbie in string theory, and only about up to the level explained in Hawking's Brief History of Time and Penrose's Road to Reality. I would prefer something which does not omit rigor, but builds it up.Also, are there good online lectures on this?  (I have covered most of GR, but I am not really comfortable with advanced Quantum mechanics. I have studied QM only from Griffith's book, and a few McGraw hill lecture notes.)
Introduction to string theory I am in the last year of MSc. and would like to read string theory. I have the Zwiebach Book, but along with it what other advanced book can be followed, which can be a complimentary to Zwiebach. I would like a more mathematically rigorous book or lecture notes along with Zwiebach.   Specifically, mention whether the book discusses string theory   Rigorously? Intuitively?   What's the scope of the book? Does it cover the advanced materials, e.g. Matrix string theory, F-theory, string field theory, etc. Maybe even String Phenomenology?
Any good resources for Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Dynamics? I'm taking a course on  and  Dynamics, and I would like to find a good book/resource with lots of practice questions and answers on either or both topics.  So far at my university library, I have found many books on both subjects, but not ones with good practice questions and answers. I have Schuam's outline of Lagrangian Dynamics, but didn't really find a lot of practice questions.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
