Overview
Elliott H. Lieb has been awarded the Rolf Schock Prize in Mathematics of the Swedish Academy of Sciences for 2001 for his outstanding work in mathematical physics, particularly for his contribution to the mathematical understanding of the quantum-mechanical many-body theory and for his work on exact solutions of models in statistical mechanics and quantum mechanics

About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
"The rapid soldout of the two previous editions by itself demonstrates the high value of this book. The reader will have indeed the opportunity to gaze on the formidable mastering of functional analysis by Elliot Lieb and to discover mathematical and Physical depths in the description of, after all, familar physical phenomena. [...] The third edition contains new developments compared to previous ones, witnessing that the field is still lively. In particular there are important results concerning systems of bosons. [...] In conclusion, this book is a delight for readers interested in the stability and related properties of many-body systems. It, moreover, offers the oppertunity to admire the elegant mathematical considerations and the penetrating physical insight of a great theoretician." (Physicalia, 2002)
