Data Visualization and Analytics. 3 credits

Catalog description

Data visualization and analytics, are a crucial aid in communication, exploration, inspiration, discovery, and decision-making. Representing a large dataset in its entirety in textual or tabular format will not immediately convey any information or insight to the user. Alternatively, we can use data analytics to highlight certain aspects/dimensions of the raw data and use visualizations to do so in a visual (maps and graphs) and meaningful way. Data analytics and visualization make it easier to digest, comprehend, and identify trends, patterns, and outliers amongst large datasets. This is the purpose of data visualization and analytics and the focus of this course, in addition to applying different software and programming to do so. Offered by Info Sciences & Technology . Limited to two attempts.
