The mean-field limit for the dynamics of large particle systems
Journées équations aux dérivées partielles (2003), article no. 9, 47 p.

This short course explains how the usual mean-field evolution PDEs in Statistical Physics - such as the Vlasov-Poisson, Schrödinger-Poisson or time-dependent Hartree-Fock equations - are rigorously derived from first principles, i.e. from the fundamental microscopic models that govern the evolution of large, interacting particle systems.
