Basic notions of condensed matter physics

by Anderson, P. W

First published in 1984, Basic Notions of Condensed Matter Physics is an accessible introduction to some of the most significant concepts in the physics of condensed matter. The general principles of many-body physics and perturbation theory are emphasized, providing supportive mathematical structure. This text is an expansion and restatement of the second half of Nobel laureate Philip Anderson's classic Concepts in Solids.
