Topics and Methods in Condensed Matter Theory From Basic Quantum Mechanics to the Frontiers of Research /

This book provides material for courses in theoretical physics for undergraduate and graduate students specializing in condensed matter, including experimentalists who want a thorough theoretical background; the advanced part should be of interest to research workers too. A good first course in quan...
