GEO 270 - Mapping Environments and People: Data Visualization and Analysis

The history and practice of analytical mapping - of environmental and social phenomena - introduces students to basic concepts in quantitative reasoning and in the visual display of quantitative information. Students will study early analytic maps from the collections of USM’s Osher Map Library (from magnetism to ethnography to economics) to determine how the data were collected and analyzed; students will map data to implement the principles discussed in class.
