Course Description

INTRODUCTION

Picture is Worth a thousand words“,  is a common saying. It is focused on the idea that a complex system can be presented in a single still image which can be understood and apprehended by everyone. The force of the data is presented through the means of its visualization, and the visualization represents the medium, a way to explore, present and express meaning of data.
