East Stroudsburg University will host the ESU Data Visualization Summer Institute. The four day intensive learning experience, set for June 24 \u2013 27, will introduce college and high school students as well as high school math teachers to the general techniques for data visualization using the programing software R.<\/p>\n

Data science is the study of large sets of data, using computers to look for patterns, trends, and correlations. \u201cOne of the best ways to explore and try to understand a large data set is with visualization,\u201d said Xuemao Zhang, Ph.D., assistant professor of mathematics. \u201cPlacing numbers into a visual place can let your brain find the underlying patterns.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Summer Institute will be taught by Dr. Zhang, Jonathan Keiter, Ph.D., assistant professor of<\/p>\n

mathematics, and Eugene Galperin, Ph.D., associate professor of mathematics along<\/p>\n

with a teaching assistant. They will teach participants the basic R language syntax, data import,<\/p>\n

data tidying, basic plotting and advanced data visualization skills through lectures and computing labs with hands-on case studies.<\/p>\n

Registration for the ESU Data Visualization Summer Institute is open through June 7 and free to all participants. Funding is provided by an ESU Faculty Development and Research Major Grant.
