# Astronomical Techniques

This repository contains tutorials that I developed for the ASTR
350 (undergraduate) and ASTR 680 (graduate) astronomical techniques
courses at [San Diego State University
(SDSU)](https://www.sdsu.edu). Each tutorial consists of an
**incomplete** Jupyter notebook and a link to a lecture video in which
the complete material is presented. Students are instructed to watch
the videos and to complete the tutorials on their own before class
meetings, which are mainly used for review, discussion, and
application of the material.

The listing below provides links to the videos and demonstrates a
possible ordering of the tutorials for the undergraduate version of
the course. (Note that additional material is covered through
traditional lectures as well).
