What are the key concepts in Srednicki's explanation of Feynman diagrams in QFT?

In summary, Srednicki is discussing how Feynman diagrams can simplify complex math problems. There are a certain number of diagrams that result from rearranging the vertices and sources, and these diagrams have the same symmetry factors. However, he argues that there is a better way to find the number of combinations for one diagram. This method is by multiplying all counting factors.

Great find, RedX!

Glad to know that you like the book, too.

I'm very soon entering the chapters on renormalization. Even though I try to take Srednicki's advice 'reading passages you don't get four times' more to heart, I will surely turn to physics forums for some more help.
