| Feb 3, 2014 at 16:53 | comment | added | Zoltan Zimboras | @TomDickens: I completely agree with you! We even talked about this a bit above. Probably I should point this out in an edit to the answer. I'll do it now. | |
| Feb 3, 2014 at 15:42 | comment | added | tpg2114 | @Dilaton Before getting all bent out of shape, recognize that I'm the only one who voted to close so it's pretty clear it's not going to be closed. This is why it takes 5. | |
| Feb 3, 2014 at 9:33 | comment | added | Tom Dickens | Hopefully you know how to compute simple diagrams by hand already. These codes are not quite "black boxes." | |
| Feb 3, 2014 at 8:10 | comment | added | Dilaton | @Hunter both questions are allowed according to the meta agreement I cited, the close votes are therefore not justified. | |
| Feb 3, 2014 at 8:05 | comment | added | Dilaton | @tpg2114 and others, we agreed in meta that questions about software exclusively used by and useful for physicists purpose are allowed. So there is no need to close this question, voted to leave open. Please do not overrule that agreement like this. | |
| Feb 3, 2014 at 4:07 | comment | added | Hunter | @tpg2114 oh ok, thanks for letting me know; I wasn't aware of that. | |
| Feb 3, 2014 at 4:02 | comment | added | tpg2114 | @Hunter That original question is from 2010 and our policies have changed since then. The policy is really that recommendation questions are off-topic because A) they are opinion based and B) they are really just requesting a list, and that's exactly the kind of answer you have so far. But -- I'm only one vote of the 5 required to close and if people don't agree with me, it won't get closed. | |
| Feb 3, 2014 at 3:43 | comment | added | Zoltan Zimboras | @Hunter Yes, I agree! That's something one should point out about all these packages. | |
| Feb 3, 2014 at 3:37 | comment | added | Hunter | @ZoltanZimboras yeah, I have never used it myself, but my lecturer has mentioned it a couple of times as a useful program to use after one feels comfortable evaluating Feynman diagrams by hand. | |
| Feb 3, 2014 at 3:35 | comment | added | Zoltan Zimboras | @Hunter: I'm not that familiar with the FormCalc package. However form the arXiv paper that I cite, it looks like a quite useful software. Nice suggestion! | |

| Feb 3, 2014 at 2:59 | comment | added | Hunter | @tpg2114 Why would this questions be off-topic, whereas this is not off-topic? | |

| Feb 3, 2014 at 2:30 | comment | added | tpg2114 | This question appears to be off-topic because it is about software recommendations and not physical concepts | |
| Feb 3, 2014 at 1:38 | comment | added | Hunter | Maybe "FORM" and in particular feynarts.de/formcalc. From wiki: The software package FormCalc which is widely used in the physics community to calculate Feynman diagrams is built on top of FORM. | |
