Welcome to the ROOT Educational Resources at
Fermilab
This site supports Fermilab's three day class on ROOT. It is inteneded
for the novice to intermediate user, and hopefully it will get you started on
ROOT quickly. The tutorial corresponds to version 3.01 of ROOT.
A video CD of the three-day class is available
in the Fermilab Stock Room
The part number is:1307-058200
and the cost is $7.12 a copy (2 CDs in one case)
Hard copies of the ROOT User's Guide are available
in the Fermilab Stock Room.
The part number is: 1307-058000
and the cost is $4.50 a copy.
