 I would like the students to learn to use a real research tool that will be useful to them as they pursue research in solid state physics as experimentalists (as most will become).  Obviously, as theorists, they will use this type of tool, too, but theorists will very quickly HAVE to go beyond the level presented in this course. I would like the students to learn to use a real research tool that will be useful to them as they pursue research in solid state physics as experimentalists (as most will become).  Obviously, as theorists, they will use this type of tool, too, but theorists will very quickly HAVE to go beyond the level presented in this course.
