The introductory course on String Theory in going to start on Thursday, Nov 9, 2006. The course is intended for those how may have to use string theory in their research work, but are not necessarily going to do research in string theory. Please communicate this to students who may be interested. First meeting: Time : Thursday Nov 9, 14:00 Place: CoPS seminar room A5:1041 (we plan to start with 2 meetings per week initially). Credits: Basically a 5 point course that can be expanded to 10 points. Course Material: The course is mainly based on lecture notes that are available from the course webpage Currently these are scanned from handwritten notes, but (hopefully) soon a latex version of most of the material will be available. (some new material will also be added) Further information about the course will be posted on the course webpage . Currently most of the information on this page is from the last time the course was given (Oct 2005-Feb 2006). Best regards, Fawad Hassan
