Overview
In order to predict and understand the properties of materials in both qualitative and quantitative ways, one needs to have theories those can describe materials specific properties without any fitting parameters. Density functional theory (DFT) is such a first principles or ab initio theory. This course is aimed at both students within physics as well as chemistry to provide the basic ideas of DFT. The course will discuss the concepts behind density functional theory based on the book _A Chemist's Guide to Density Functional Theory_. The standard approximations used to calculate the properties of the material will be discussed along with their success and failures.
