Hi,
I just finished my master in theoretical physics with a strong interest in quantum mechanics and relativity. I always picked the courses that where more or less related to that: qft, cft, gr, critical phenomenas, particle physics, qcd, electroweak, statistical physics, susy. But now, I'd like to start working on a project related to condensed matter physics (don't know what exactly yet but pretty much theoretical), I am familiar with the framework (qft, renormalization group, cft) but have only a really small view of what's condensed matter, seems like a widly spread area, so I am thinking about starting with reading and digesting these two books:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/0521794501/?tag=pfamazon01-20
and
https://www.amazon.com/dp/0521769752/?tag=pfamazon01-20
Plus watching the following lectures (PSI 2011/2012 CM):
http://www.perimeterscholars.org/353.html
Do you agree with this plan? What more resources should I use?
