Plan for tutorials to be included. #3

The Tutorials should be self contained and focused on learning specific skills. Data visualization, CSV file handling, curve fitting, basic Monte Carlo simulation, etc.

Should these tutorials be comprehensive or just introductory? I see that there are some similar tutorial-like notebooks in the StarterKit, so I wasn't sure how this was being structured.

Right now what's in the notebooks is a bit of a hodgepodge. I was working on it today a bit.

My thinking is that the "Starter Kit" is just a baseline set of "here's how you use basic python" "here's how to use numpy and what it can do" "here's how to make plots"

whereas the "Tutorials" are more for like "let's say you have this problem X. Here's a relatively complete solution". You can look in the "Examples" folder of PHYS250 for some ideas.

Okay, that makes sense.

I'm going to play around with the StarterKit directory a bit then and try to impose a bit of structure on the content there. It'll probably be more directories/sub-directories than we'll want, but it may help narrow things down.
