  Address (Geography) - Karr.net   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
An address is a code and abstract concept expressing the fixed location of a home, business or other building on the earth's surface.
In cities with Cartesian-coordinate-based addressing systems, the streets that form the north-south and east-west dividing lines constitute the x and y axes of a Cartesian coordinate plane and thus divide the city into quadrants.
Postal codes are a relatively recent development in addressing, designed to speed the sorting and processing of mail by assigning unique numeric or alphanumeric codes to each geographical locality.

 Graduate Catalog 2005-2007 | Fields of Study | Geography
The graduate curriculum in geography enables students to obtain an understanding of the heritage and philosophical foundations of the discipline, of contemporary thought and practice in its various subfields, and of the analytical tools and techniques currently used in geographic research.
A student who wishes to substitute courses in another field for geography courses must demonstrate that these substitutions are appropriate to his or her program of study and must have the consent of the graduate adviser and the supervising professor for the courses substituted.
Geography 391K, a required course for all new graduate students, may not be counted as one of these courses.

 About Geography
What Geography Is Geographers study the material and symbolic transformation of the earth in relationship to both human and natural processes.
Geography is both a natural science and a social science as it examines people and their environment and serves as a bridge between the physical and cultural worlds.
Human geography (a social science) is concerned especially with the political, economic, social, and cultural processes and resource practices that give definition to particular places and that are affected by them.

 UW Madison Geography - Graduate Application Process
The Department of Geography is considered strong, not only within the discipline, but also on campus, which is among the country's best public universities.
Prospective graduate students who think about the particulars of their anticipated study, including individual faculty members with whom they might work, courses they might complete, and research which they anticipate pursuing, are often at an advantage over students without such initial focus.
We have found that it is often desirable for students to have a degree in a related field before entering graduate study in geography, and many of our graduate students do have degrees in other disciplines.

[geography] The Address Nerd on Marion County, Oregon
The West Salem (and by extension, Polk County) area have addresses based on the way West Salem began, as a city in its own right, and whose logical origin is geographically quite close (literally, just across the river) from the east side origin.
So, for Polk-side addresses, the correspondence is not precise as you cross the river, but it is close enough that for the Salem westsider, addresses all decrease as you move toward the center of Salem as well.

 The Geography of Internet Addressing
The current system for IP address management is concerned, therefore, not only with fair distribution of addresses, but also with maintenance of IP address routability, for without the capability to route an address, the address is useless.
Firstly, IP address distribution is “provider-based”, meaning that addresses are allocated to the discrete IP networks which comprise the Internet, and which are able to maintain the aggregation of those address blocks.
It is clear that addressing systems lie at the very heart of networks, and that there is a close relationship between the address system, the services that a network can offer, and the nature of the business structures that support the deployment and operation of the network.
