COMP 435 - Data Visualization

In this capstone course, we will study techniques and algorithms for visualization design and analysis. We will cover topics such as visualization of multivariate, temporal, text-based, spatial, hierarchical, and network/graph-based data to clearly and effectively convey information graphically. Our discussions will revolve around principles of graphic design, perceptual psychology, and cognitive science. Students will have the opportunity to complete several programming assignments and data analysis tasks. Prerequisite(s): COMP 127 or permission of instructor. Alternate spring semesters. (4 Credits)
