# Lectures in Quantitative Economics: Source Files
This repository is being **Archived**.
The python lecture series has been moved into three different series
New repositories:
1. [Python Programming](https://github.com/QuantEcon/lecture-python-programming)
2. [Introductory Quantitative Economics with Python](https://github.com/QuantEcon/lecture-python-intro)
3. [Advanced Economics with Python](https://github.com/QuantEcon/lecture-python-advanced)
### Python version
This repository contains
* the `rst` source files for each python lecture in [Quantitative Economics with Python](https://lectures.quantecon.org/py/), in directory `source/rst`
* supporting Python code in `source/_static/code/`
* supporting figures, PDFs and other static assets in `source/_static`.
## Building notebooks
[Jupinx](https://jupinx.quantecon.org) should be used to build this set of lectures.
## Style Guide - Writing Conventions
### Mathematical Notation
Matrices always use square brackets. Use `\begin{bmatrix} ... \end{bmatrix}`
Sequences use curly brackets, such as `\{ x_t \}_{t=0}^{\infty}`
The use of align environments can be done using the `\begin{algined} ... \end{aligned}` as it is not a full math environment and works within the equation wrapping of sphinx.
"Independent and identically distributed" is abbreviated to "IID".
The headings should not use math-environment.
Labels must be written in all small alphabetical letters. Any special character should be avoided in labels except "dash" i.e "-"
All the cite key must use the default google scholar bibtex conventions.
Math lines contained in `.. math::` directives should never start with `+` or `-` as they get interpreted as markdown. This is a temporary issue with `nbconvert`
### Emphasis and Definitions
Use **bold** for definitions and _italic_ for emphasis. For example,
* A **closed set** is a set whose complement is open.
* All consumers have _identical_ endowments.
### Titles and Headings
* Capitalization of all words for all titles.
> Example “How it Works: Data, Variables and Names”
### Adding References
#### Adding a Citation to a Lecture
To add a reference to the text of a QuantEcon lecture you need to use the `:cite:` directive.
For example
```
:cite:`StokeyLucas1989`, chapter 2
```
is rendered rendered in HTML and LaTex as:
> [SLP89], chapter 2
#### Adding a new reference to QuantEcon
To add a new reference to the project, a bibtex entry needs to be added to `lecture-source-py/source/_static/quant-econ.bib`.
### Sphinx and Restructured Text
#### Editing
The syntax of the source files is reStructuredText.
[Here is a nice primer](http://sphinx-doc.org/rest.html) on how to write reStructuredText files.
[Here is the documentation](http://jinja.pocoo.org/docs/dev/) for the Jinja template syntax.
### Helpful Links
* [A nice Sphinx tutorial](http://sphinx-doc.org/tutorial.html)
* [Another rst primer](http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/rst/quickstart.html)
## Building Lectures on OS X
You will need to fetch the Liberation Mono fonts for this repository to build the LaTeX components.
```bash
brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts
brew cask install font-liberation-sans
brew cask install font-computer-modern
```
## Converting notebooks to RST files
Sometimes it's convenient to write a lecture as a notebook and then convert to
RST
This guide is provided by TJS and requires pandoc 2.6 or newer
(Use `pandoc --version` to test)
1. This step is necessary only if you want to strip out dollar signs from maths
* `python latex_space_strip.py [myinputfile.ipynb] -o [myoutputfile.ipynb]`
2. To convert, use
* `pandoc [myfilenamenew.pynb] -f ipynb+tex_math_dollars -t rst -s -o [newfilename.rst]`
