Sommario/riassunto

Dealing with Dynamical Mean-Field Theory (DMFT), this book develops the formalism of many-body Green's functions using the equation of motion approach, which requires an undergraduate solid state physics course and a graduate quantum mechanics course as prerequisites. It also emphasizes how to carry out numerical calculations.

Sommario/riassunto

Annually, hundreds of infants and young children perish at the hands



of their mothers. This book uses more than a dozen case studies to help us understand, and most importantly, prevent these horrific events from occurring. It is suitable for students, as well as mental health and medical professionals.
