Explores the various ways computers are currently used in the field. Introductory in nature, it assumes no prior knowledge of computers and only basic mathematical skills. The first two chapters introduce computers and data, including reviews of the hardware and software components of a digital computer, using personal computers as a model. The remaining five chapters cover individual topics representing a selection of the major areas of computer use in geography such as statistical analysis, computer cartography, remote sensing data from satellites to map the surface of the Earth, the development and use of simulation models.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Computer Applications in Geography Paul M. Mather Department of Geography, University of Nottingham, England Geography graduates are expected to be computer literate, yet the literature on computing is often inaccessible to them. This book is intended for undergraduate students of geography who wish to familiarise themselves with the terminology of computers and to read about the ways in which computers are presently being used in geography. It assumes no prior knowledge of computers and no mathematical skills beyond those possessed by the average layman. The first two chapters form a technical introduction to computers and data. The remaining five chapters are devoted to individual topics representing a selection of the main areas of computer use in geography and show how computers can be used to acquire, process and display geographical data. Worked examples, with example data sets, are given for three program packages that are widely used by geographers--SPSS, SYMAP and GIMMS. The book is comprehensive in its coverage of the major areas of computer applications and will be of interest to geographers dealing with statistics, digital cartography, remote sensing, geographical information systems and simulation models. Written with the view of geography as spatial information technology, this text is intended for undergraduate students of geography who are interested in computer applications. Following an introduction to computers, it covers uses in cartography, remote sensing and data manipulation. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780471926153
