In Exercise 1, you'll prepare for analysis. You'll copy the tutorial data locally and create a geodatabase to hold your results. In Exercise 2, you'll learn the location of the Spatial Analyst tools, create a hillshade output, and explore your data. In Exercise 3, you'll create a suitability map to help you find the best location for a new school.
The exercises in the Spatial Analyst tutorial will help you learn how to use the functionality available in the ArcGIS Spatial Analyst extension. In the tutorial, you'll learn how to run Spatial Analyst tools and how to combine several tools in a model to perform more complex analyses.
