There is a missing minus sign in the second term of the second equation. But seriously. I'm a condensed matter guy and even i think the BO approx isn't worth a tattoo. I mean Bloch's theorem, Fermi liquid theory, BCS... there are so many profound pieces of physics in condensed matter. But "the atoms are heavy" isn't really profound. there is only one typo i found.
