TQFT

[retread]

Hello all,

This is my first post here and I hope this is appropriate to ask
here. I'm an undergraduate(senior) in math and I have a strong
interest in learning about TQFT. Most of what I've been able to find
is well above my current level. I'm hoping I might get some
suggestions on where I might start in my attack on this area.

My background: 4 quarters of physics, math includes complex analysis,
PDE's, ODE's, Linear Algebra, Abstract Algebra (1 sem), Topology(1
sem), Geometry (both Euclidean and Non-Euclidean).
Comming this year: Real Analysis(2 sem), Combinatorics, More topology,
number theory.

Thank you for your help.

Frobenius Algebras and Topological Quantum Field Theory, by Joachim
Kock

It's aimed at advanced undergrad level. The approach is via algebra
and category theory.
