so I've finally found something in physics that I absolutely abhor: solid state. The course I'm doing at uni has been very, well, solid, at this state. don't know why they try to stuff everything from classical to semi classical to quantum theories of SS then zillions of different types of semiconductors devices in 5 weeks. my brain, unfortunately, is not a superconductor, even though it has lots of 'holes' in it, but simply can't conduct, especially without any excitation, like now. This book clarifies some points, i didn't quite read through the whole thing ("just" skimmed the first four chapters, i.e 400 pages!) because it's fairly advanced for an insulator like me and the number of different notations is insane (like a 5-page long list!), but it helps a bit, i guess.
