About This Class: This class is designed to give you a hands-on overview of the the major data analysis techniques that are common to the Marine, Earth and Atmospheric sciences (& many related disciplines), as well as an introduction to programing and scripting in the Matlab. To make the course assessable to a diverse audience, the lectures assume little-to-no knowledge of the subject matter. However, we ramp up quickly to sophisticated topics and the cumulative nature of the material makes it important that you complete the readings and assignments in timely manner.
