The Fundamentals of Density Functional Theory
by Helmut Eschrig
Publisher: University of Technology Dresden 2013
Number of pages: 224
Description:
A thorough introduction to the theoretical basis of density functional methods in a form which is both rigorous and yet concise. It is aimed not only for those who are already or are going to be active in the field, but also for those who just want to get a deeper insight into the meaning of the results of practical calculations.

The ABC of Density Functional Theoryby Kieron Burke, et al. - University of California, Irvine
DFT is not just another way of solving the Schroedinger equation. Density functional theory is a completely different, rigorous way of approaching any interacting problem, by mapping it exactly to a much easier-to-solve non-interacting problem.
