Description
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are computer-based systems used to collect, store and analyze geographic information. This introductory course in GIS is designed to provide basic knowledge of GIS theories and applications. Mathematical concepts and methods involved in this course include using geographic and Cartesian coordinate systems, analysis of basic statistical data, and construction of maps and charts using computer software. In addition, mathematical and computer concepts and methods underlie our study of remote sensing, geographic information systems, and computer cartography.
