I.I. Introduction to Introduction to Anderson Anderson LocalizationLocalization

HKUST april 2010 6

Localization [..] very few believed it at the time, and even fewer saw itsimportance, among those who failed was certainly its author.

It has yet to receive adequate mathematical treatment, and one has to resort to the indignity of numerical simulations to settle even the simplest questions about it.
