A whirlwind tour of Data Visualization

Speaker: Mick McQuaid, School of Information, GCCIS
RSVP for Pizza https://cglink.me/2d1/r1397589
Bringing a laptop with Tableau is recommended for the session

In this talk, I will describe data visualization from three perspectives: historical, theoretical, and software implementation. I will review the history of data visualization, starting with Enlightenment practitioners and concluding with today's data scientists. I will review some theories of data visualization, emphasizing Jacques Bertin, Leland Wilkinson, and Hadley Wickham. I will review the software history of data visualization, emphasizing the software used by data scientists today. Finally, I will mention the main venues for data visualization today in popular media and scientific literature. After the talk, I will ask attendees to create a quick data visualization using Tableau.
