8. Understanding Networks
In which we learn about Graph Theory, examine the Seven Bridges of Königsberg, and implement your own routing algorithm
7. Understanding Surfaces II
In which we learn to determine whether or not something is visible, as well as speed up our raster processing by replacing geometry with simple graphics algorithms.
6. Understanding Surfaces I
In which we get to grips with raster data, and reproduce a classic algorithm to model flood extents.
5. Understanding Distortion
In which we quantitatively examine the impact of our projection choices upon our maps and analyses.
Assessment 1 - A Race Around the World!
In which you apply the skills that you have learned so far to start your climb out of the desert of despair!
4. Understanding Generalisation
In which we examine the coastline paradox, and discover that distance is even more confusing than we previously thought
3. Understanding Spatial Indexes
In which we learn how to create our own functions, and how to optimise our spatial queries using a spatial index
2. Understanding Topology
In which we expand our skills in Python, get to grips with topology and geodesy, and start to discover why building Donald Trump’s wall won’t be quite as easy as he thinks…
1. Understanding GIS
In which we are introduced to Python and Spyder, and make our first programmatic map with Python.
