Tutorials
=========

These tutorials show you how to perform a range of calculations with Galacticus.
The parameter files needed for each tutorial can be found in the
``parameters/tutorials/`` folder of the Galacticus source distribution.

The later tutorials build on ideas presented in the earlier ones, so it is
recommended to work through them in order.
