blurb
A course for those interested in creating and interpreting maps. The course will cover the history of map making, how people currently portray spacial information, and some of the mathematical choices involved in map design. We will work with primitive tools such as pencil and paper as well as GIS platforms for mapping and statistical information. Students will create a variety of actual maps over the course of the semester. We will use the impending US Election as inspiration for some of the map work.
