CS
424 Introduces students to current techniques to visualize and
interact with various kinds of data in various ways to get a
better understanding of that data, and gives them the
opportunity to use modern libraries to create interactive data
visualization environments for others to use. It will give
students the knowledge to critically interpret and judge
visualizations created by others, as well as the professional
skills of working in teams and presenting work to others.
