!!! summary "Learning goals"
## Course book
After following this course you will be able to:
The Oxford Solid State Basics by Steven H. Simon
- Formulate the main models of solid state physics
- Given a problem description, write down the corresponding equations
- Identify the relevant approximations and solve these problems
In these notes our aim is to provide learning materials which are:
- self-contained
- easy to modify and remix, so we provide the full source, including the code
- open for reuse: see the license below.
Whether you are a student taking this course, or an instructor reusing the materials, we welcome all contributions, so check out the [course repository](https://gitlab.kwant-project.org/solidstate/lectures), especially do [let us know](https://gitlab.kwant-project.org/solidstate/lectures/issues/new?issuable_template=typo) if you see a typo!
