Hi everyone,
Dmitrij will give a tomorrow tutorial on the most highly voted of our
tutorial topics, DFT! The Tricider's still up here
<http://www.tricider.com/brainstorming/37bGg6Us487> - vote on tutorial
topics you'd like to see.
This'll be in the usual time and location (Div Room 2:30 PM) - just a
warning that the next next group meeting (Wednesday the 21st, two weeks
from today) we'll be shifting to Wednesdays at 11 AM. This is reflected on
both the group calendar and the group meeting schedule
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LioqdopHr5ZAmn0GaCQwLUTYoU4ZJuvfrMYE6zCVhqI/edit#gid=0>.
Also, let me know if you have something you'd like to talk about in
November / December!
The title and abstract for Dmitrij's DFT tutorial are below.
All the best,
Ian

Speaker: Dmitrij Rappoport
Title: DFT. An Opinionated Tour
Abstract: Density Functional Theory (DFT) is many things to many people: A
cheap and convenient computational method for molecules and solids; a
fundamentally exact approach to electronic structure, which gets the basic
physical phenomena right; an inscrutable black box, giving great results
for no obvious reason. I will present a quick tour of DFT with a strong
bias toward molecular applications. The presentation will not make any
pretense of being comprehensive or fair and balanced.
