Welcome to CS 360/CS 686 Data Visualization! This course will introduce students to the field of data visualization. Students will learn basic visualization design and evaluation principles, and learn how to acquire, parse, and analyze large datasets. Students will also learn techniques for visualizing multivariate, temporal, text-based, geospatial, hierarchical, and network/graph-based data. Students will utilize Processing, D3, R and ggplot2, and many other tools and languages to prototype many of these techniques on existing datasets. Announcements |
