 Hello, I'm Fritz Kessler, and this is Justine Blanford. We're both professors in the MGS program, and we're going to talk to you about geographic information analysis. In this course, you're investigating patterns, and also trying to understand the drivers behind those patterns. Some of the methods you'll use include statistical measurement, network analysis, topological, and surface analysis. Throughout the course, you'll be doing weekly assignments and integrating the theory that you learn, as well as the different methods that Fritz just highlighted into those projects. So Justine and I look forward to seeing you in the class.
