The Big Questions
Geography 465 is structured around a series of "big"
questions. Each question will be the subject of an Assignment
(each due the week after it is handed out). The list of questions
may develop somewhat during the quarter; for starters there are
eight (8) spaced approximately one per week. Follow the link from
each question to the assignment page (due dates
are listed separately):
- What does geodesy have to do with GIS?
- How does a projection influence GIS representations?
- How can you compute geometric relationships?
- How can you represent spatial relationships
in a data structure?
- What is different about a database?
- How can data structures be designed for
efficiency?
- What transformations are more tricky than
others?
- Is O-O just a buzzword?
