Congratulations! We wish you the best for your future endeavours.
A Short Introduction to String Theory
Thomas Mohaupt
Suitable for graduate students in physics and mathematics, this book presents a concise and pedagogical introduction to string theory. Ideal for either self-study or a one semester graduate course, A Short Introduction to String Theory is an essential resource for students studying string theory, containing examples and homework problems to develop understanding, with fully worked solutions available to instructors.
