# Thomas-Fermi model One way of approximating quantum dynamics. A very early way of estimating electric structure of many-body systems and arguably a precursor of [[Density Functional Theory]]. Arguably one of the first approximations of the [[Schrödinger Equation]] [Thomas–Fermi model - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas%E2%80%93Fermi_model) [Web URL for this note](http://notes.benjaminreinhardt.com/Thomas-Fermi+model) [Comment on this note](http://via.hypothes.is/http://notes.benjaminreinhardt.com/Thomas-Fermi+model)
