Summary
We start by describing the particle action in the first-order and second-order formalism. This is then generalized to the bosonic string, for which we discuss actions and equations of motion, constraints, quantization, and oscillators, and we add background fields. The particle is generalized to the particle, and from that, we find we can generalize the bosonic string to the GS superstring, the NS-R (spinning) string, and the Berkovits superstring, using pure spinors.
