Introduction to Spatial Information

From Logic to Data Processing

This subject introduces essential concepts and techniques of computing for conducting science, with special emphasis on the preparation and manipulation of data. We discuss the role of computers and computing tools in science and focus on the use of spreadsheets and other data manipulation tools. This subject introduces vital skills for tertiary learning and explores their relationship to success in future careers.

Build data and IT skills that you’ll use throughout your science degree and career. You’ll learn how to collect, prepare, and process data using computers. See how spreadsheets can enhance the efficiency and accuracy of your scientific research.

The world now runs on data. If knowledge is power, data science is increasingly how we discover that knowledge. With limitless possibilities for exploration and innovation, it is a field driven by discovery and communication. This subject introduces you to data science using simple and efficient toolkits in Python. You will explore various datasets and apply machine learning algorithms to them. In doing so, you will gain an understanding of data processing workflows, exploration, and visualisation, as well as a conceptual understanding of many of the algorithms themselves. Designed to be exploratory and collaborative, the subject offers you invaluable insights into a rapidly evolving field with diverse and increasingly important applications.

This subject is designed to give students a general overview of spatial information and its applications. Spatial information is becoming an increasingly prevalent part of our daily lives. The ability to incorporate spatial information into various applications is a valuable skill, with applications across all manner of disciplines and vocations. This subject will introduce students to Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and basic remote sensing analysis.In this subject, students will learn the fundamental concepts underpinning spatial information, and how to represent a variety of variables in a spatial way. Content in this subject is delivered at the introductory level for students who may be curious about the potential of spatial information, and want to develop a basic skillset to analyse and interpret datasets. Concepts that will be introduced include: spatial referencing systems, types of spatial data, creating new datasets, basic image analysis, and data visualisation.

Throughout history, maps have been fundamental in shaping our view of the world and articulating our place in it, at local and regional scales. Maps guide us in everyday tasks but can also be a means to get global overviews on current topics. Today, as in the past, geo-spatial information is a valuable commodity, harnessed by researchers, governments, business and the public. But maps are not purely scientific objects; they are inherently ideological and subjective, communicating the beliefs, power structures and aspirations of particular times, people and places. This subject introduces concepts and perceptions of geographical space and relationships in different cultures, past and present.This is a level 1 subject and includes live sessions with the expectation of student attendance and participation.

In an era of rapid technological innovation, data and the capacity to process it are the most valuable assets in many fields. Studying this subject, you will learn how data is represented, stored and processed in computer systems. Extending your high-level technological literacy, the subject introduces you to a way of thinking that uses abstraction to move from low level hardware concepts to higher level programming concepts. Working through the natural progression of related concepts in computer programming, you will first explore how circuits can implement logic, then how logic lets us implement computer architecture (memory, processors), and how assembly language lets us write programs that manipulate data, before circling back to the relationship between programs and logic.

Get an introductory understanding of the links between logic, reasoning, data, and computation. Learn how data is represented, stored, and processed in computer systems.
