by T. Lee, B. Senyuk, R. P. Trivedi, I. I. Smalyukh
Publisher: arXiv 2011
Number of pages: 41
Description:
The fast-growing field of soft matter research requires increasingly sophisticated tools for experimental studies. The aim of this text is to introduce a variety of optical microscopy techniques available to soft matter researchers, starting from basic principles and finishing with a discussion of the most advanced microscopy systems.

![Book cover: The ABC of Density Functional Theory](images/9511.jpg)
by Kieron Burke, et al. - University of California, Irvine
DFT is not just another way of solving the Schroedinger equation. Density functional theory is a completely different, rigorous way of approaching any interacting problem, by mapping it exactly to a much easier-to-solve non-interacting problem.
