-Abstract-
   Density functional theory began with the work of Thomas and Fermi, at about the same time as Schroedinger wrote his famous equation. It is a bizarre approach to the quantum mechanics of many particle systems. Its unreasonable utility for electronic problems is transforming the world we live in, as was recognized by the 1998 Nobel prize in chemistry. I will explain what density functional theory is, describe some problems of current interest, and what the future might hold.
