Data Visualization

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

Introduction to scientific and information visualization. Topics include visualization of scalar and vector fields (isosurface extraction, volume rendering, line integral convolution, and particle tracing); visual data representations (parallel coordinates, treemaps, and graph layouts); interactive techniques (focus+context visualization and coordinated multiple views); and solutions for big data visual analytics. Students will gain hands-on experiences in learning popular visualization programming (D3.js) and toolkit (ParaView). Students will have the opportunity to learn, implement, and apply visualization techniques through assignments and projects.
