Lecture Notes:

For most of this course I will be following rather closely the lecture notes by

• R.J. Crewther, Relativistic Quantum Mechanics, [pdf].

Assignments:

• Assignment #1 (Solutions)
• Assignment #2 (Solutions)

References:

Some additional useful references are listed at the end of the lecture notes. In particular I can recommend
