Reading for next week

Beginning next tuesday I will lecture on "Beyond the independent electron approximation", closely following chapter 17 and pages 674-9 of Ashcroft and Mermin.
Key concepts include:
The many-body Schrodinger equation
Hartree approximation and the self-consistent field
Hartree-Fock approximation and the exchange interaction
Screening
Fermi liquid theory
Singlet-Triplet splitting
