IDL Tutorial 2003

The Solar Physics Group at MSU plays host to several undergraduate students each year as part of the REU program.  Each year it's my job to introduce the students to the basics of programing in IDL.  I give a week long series of lectures designed to introduce the students to the basic concepts of IDL and scientific programing.
