Synopsis:

In this course, you will get the knowledge of theoretical background

for visualization and the application of visualization in real-world

examples. The visualization methods are aimed at exploiting both the

full power of computer technologies and the characteristics (and

limits) of human perception. Well-chosen visualization method serves as an external representation, with which it is possible to quickly obtain data values or compare data. This frees up the memory and cognitive capabilities of the analyst to solve the problem that the data represents.
