This course is designed to provide students with a solid foundation in computer science principles, including data structures, algorithms, and operating systems, with a focus on how these concepts apply to managing and analyzing environmental data.

Topics I’ll be talking about are:

• History of Computer Science: Providing context on the evolution of computing technologies
• Boolean Algebra: The foundation of logic used in programming and data analysis.
• Data Representation: Understanding how computers store and process information.
• Data Structures: Efficiently organizing and managing data, crucial for handling complex environmental datasets.
• Algorithms: Step-by-step processes for solving problems and analyzing data.
• Operating Systems: Managing hardware and software resources, essential for running geospatial tools.
