Deriving the Dirac Equation

In this video, we'll derive the Dirac equation, and see where it comes from! :)

Recommended reading: Introduction to Elementary Particles, by David Griffiths, Chapter 7.

Equations from the videos are available as downloadable PDFs on my Patreon. I'll also be on there to answer any questions you might have.
