The source materials for the EdX course "Topology in Condensed Matter: Tying Quantum Knots"

The latest stable version of the course is located at http://topocondmat.org.

Open these notebooks in Binder: so you can experiment with the code.

Development tip: shallow clone

Initially, this repository contained the output of all computations, which means that its size is quite large (~300MB). To avoid downloading all the data, you can use the shallow cloning feature of git by using these or analogous commands:

mkdir topocm && cd topocm
git init
git remote add origin https://github.com/topocm/topocm_content.git # (Or the location of your fork)
git fetch --depth 1 origin +refs/tags/cleaned # Here we get the first commit that doesn't contain cruft
git fetch origin
git checkout master

The cleaned tag marks the start of development that stores no output. This gives you a repository without cruft data and a size of ~15MB.
