Part 2: Spatial Data Applications

Part 2 builds on Part 1 by introducing spatial data applications, including examples of trend spread across African countries, epidemic spread across student networks, transportation logistics problems involving roadways and locations of interest, snake conservation across regions of a national park, and text-based city park evaluation clustering. This part introduces epidemic (and more general differential equation) models, shortest path algorithms, traveling salesman problem solutions, minimum cut/maximum flow algorithms, spectral graph algorithms, and pretrained transformer models.

Part 2 has the following chapters:

• Chapter 3, Demographic Data
• Chapter 4, Transportation Data
• Chapter 5, Ecological Data
