Basic introduction focused on modern applications Teaches condensed matter physics from the modern many-body quantum theory point of view Provides students with skills necessary to read research papers in the field Grown out of lecture notes, including a large number of pedagogical exercises Many examples (electron systems, transport theory, etc) with sufficient detail for self-study
