Back-Of-The-Envelope Quantum Mechanics: With Extensions to Many-Body Systems and Integrable Pdes

by Maxim Olshanii

Dimensional and order-of-magnitude estimates are practiced by almost everybody but taught almost nowhere. When physics students engage in their first theoretical research project, they soon learn that exactly solvable problems belong only to textbooks, that numerical models are long and resource consuming, and that "something else" is needed to quickly gain insight into the system they are going to study.
