Opiniones y comentarios de aprendices correspondientes a Density Functional Theory por parte de École Polytechnique

The faculty taught with amazing passion, as if we were sitting in front.

I would have preferred some lecture notes on LDA as well. Rest of the course was inch perfect

First things first, the title music of the course was top class! Whoever composed it, has a separate amount of applause dedicated :)

Next, I thoroughly enjoyed the course, especially loved how the instructors were delivering the lectures more in a storytelling way, which, I am sure must have kept many people engaged. I am someone who has been working with DFT for a year now but I do not have a very good theoretical background of it. That's the main reason I wanted to take this course. I hope Ecole Polytechnique comes up with a more advanced version of this course.

An excellent course. The teachers are fantastic. They explain things in depth with simple words. Also, it seems that the whole team there put quite an effort. I have made video/recodrings before and I know is very difficult. Very explanatory and now I believe I have a solid foundation to study related papers and books. One suggestion though, maybe to include more details on the numerical details on solving the Khon-Sham equations. On the expansion on the orbitals if am not wrong.

I enjoyed learning this course. I was exposed to the rigorous mathematics that makes up DFT, the current practical applications and limitations that DFT faces, with a dash of the historical storyline that has brought DFT this far. The instructors keep it as simple as possible, and still teach effectively. I would recommend that one should have at least a low level knowledge of calculus if they do not want to find the mathematics aspect too difficult.

It is a very well-prepared course. From getting the interest of students through History and Scientists of DFT to making them solve complex differential equations, this course provides it all. It is a very suitable course for a beginner in DFT.

Great course. I will recommend it to anyone who wants to learn with rigor the basics of DFT, Kohn-Sham method and its applicability. Very good instructors give fantastic explanations in non trivial topics.

An interesting and understanding lecture thanks to subtitles, movies, exercises and references. Not easiest at all to deal with theoritical subject, but you success, thank you a lot.

It's worth everyone's time; period! It gives a very informative introduction to DFT. Given that the learner studies all the provided notes and bibliography, it is bound success!

Great course. The links provided to papers( whenever details were left out during lectures) were very helpful. The lecture notes were easy to understand.

Excellent introductory course on DFT for anyone who is about to begin serious study of condensed matter physics and materials.

The professors are truly good in my opinion!!! First and second week in particular were really great!!

Thank you to the instructors for explaining it so well and making it so interesting. i learned a lot.

i am simply amazed. looking forward to another course related to the computational calculations.

An excellent course to learn DFT, how it emerged and how to apply DFT in real world situations.

A very informative and well-organized course for a person like me

I really enjoyed the course.

Great and very enthusiastic teacher.

This is very good course for learning DFT from basic to advance.

Goos DFT basis or guide for solids, and a bit for molecules.

The bare essentials of DFT are very clearly laid out.

E​xcellent well presented course, thank you so much!

It is a very easy way to learn DFT from very basic

Very instructive course! Very good professors!

Thankful!!

This course presented some difficult concept in DFT in a very easy way to grasp
