These lectures will be watched/rewatched for ages. Thanks to Prof. Marzari for giving us his own interpretations of this topic and expnations of the intemaditating and dare I say abstract equations. Will be looking forward to more such lectures (never ever in my life the phrase: 'will be looking forward' meant this much).

Thanks for recording and uploading! I missing the streaming could review the webinar here.

Unfortunately, the last few minutes about how to solve K-S equation doesnt covered here. But I learned the basic idea of DFT from the video updated here. Thanks again!
