-Theory and Practice
This is a book for absolute beginners. If you have heard about random matrix theory, commonly denoted
RMT, but you do not know what that is, then welcome!, this is the place for you. Our aim is to provide a
truly accessible introductory account of RMT for physicists and mathematicians at the beginning of their
research career. We tried to write the sort of text we would have loved to read when we were beginning
Ph.D. students ourselves.
