Solid state Physics deals with the physical principles of a large number of chemically bound atoms in the solid state of matter. The large number of atoms requires new models that are typical for solid state physics. In spite of some approximations, these models allow for a quantitative description of many typical material properties in solid matter. The aim of this lecture is to introduce the most important models and to provide some tools for understanding recent developments in research and technology.
