(3 Credit Hours (2 theoretical + 1 Lab) This course is an introductory presentation of numerical analyses of geological data. The scientific geologist has a set of criteria for identifying Earth’s materials and drawing a conclusion. The use the qualitative criteria and assessment is inevitably subjective, so problem should be stated and tested in terms of numbers. To know how to deal with the increasingly geologic information that comes from digital recording instruments, and to store data resulting form exploration in numerical form.

Elective course- Senior Year This is an advanced course taught in the final year. It requires good background in other courses like Rock Forming Processes, Petrology and Economic Geology. The course is divided into two parts. Part I deals with the description and classification of industrial minerals and rocks. Part II handles the geology of different industrial minerals, as well as their beneficiation procedures. The major topics of this course are: Definition of industrial minerals and their classification; The geology, origin and occurrence of the chief categories and deposits of commercial, non-metallic minerals and rocks; The requirements of industry as regards the physical and chemical properties of industrial minerals and rocks as fertilizers, glass, cement, and their uses; Economics of industrial rocks and minerals; major industrial materials in Jordan
