The birdtracks methods have applications that reach across QCD, general relativity, differential geometry, lattice field theory, and representation theory. In this meeting experts from different fields explain the context in which they use birdtracks, why they use them, and what the special features, advantages, and disadvantages are in their particular context.

A gentle introduction to the birdtrack notation, Young projection operators, and their applications to QCD.
Judith Alcock-Zeilinger (Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen, SS 2018)
Currently the best 1-semester group theory course / manuscript that applies birdtracks techniques to Hermitian Young projection operators and irreps of SU(n).

An introductory birdtrack appreciation 10-hour course, but Stefan and Judith are hard acts to follow :)
