GEOS 5083 - Advanced Computing in Geospatial Sciences

3 (2-2)

Prerequisite(s): Prerequisites: CMPS 1023 or CMPS 1044, MATH 1233 or MATH 1534 or MATH 1634 or permission of the instructor.

This course will introduce graduate students to high-level programming to easily exploit MATLAB’s extensive capabilities for tackling scientific problems related to geosciences, environmental science, and geospatial science. The course will start with programming concepts, such as variables, assignments, and sections statements, move on to loops, modular code and data structures, and then solve problems using both the traditional programming method and the power of MATLAB. Advanced applications include data transfer, graphics, object-oriented programming, event-driven programming, mapping, and image processing. Coursework emphasizes logic and scientific approach towards research and practical applications.
