- 7. Why?
- 10. “I feel that everyday, all of us now are being blasted by information design. It's being poured into our eyes through the Web, and we're all visualizers now; we're all demanding a visual aspect to our information. There's something almost quite magical about visual information. It's effortless, it literally pours in. And if you're navigating a dense information jungle, coming across a beautiful graphic or a lovely data visualization, it's a relief, it's like coming across a clearing in the jungle.” DAVID MCCANDLESS - THE BEAUTY OF DATA VISUALIZATION @mseckington

- 17. Theatrum Orbis Terrarum May 20, 1570 The first modern atlas, collected by Abraham Ortelis. ! This was a first attempt to gather all maps that were known to man at the time and bind them together. A BRIEF HISTORY OF DATA VISUALISATION
- 19. A BRIEF HISTORY OF DATA VISUALISATION Bills of Mortality From 1603, London parish clerks collected health-related population data in order to monitor plague deaths, publishing the London Bills of Mortality on a weekly basis. ! John Graunt amalgamated 50 years of information from the bills, producing the first known tables of public health data. BEAUTIFUL SCIENCE AT THE BRITISH LIBRARY - THE GUARDIAN

- 23. A BRIEF HISTORY OF DATA VISUALISATION Street map of cholera deaths in Soho 1853 John Snow Snow's 'ghost map' shows deaths from cholera around Broad Street between 19 August and 30 September 1854. Snow simplified the street layout, highlighting the 13 water pumps serving the area and representing each death as a black bar. His map demonstrates how cholera was spreading, not by a 'miasma' rising from the Thames, but in water contaminated by human waste BEAUTIFUL SCIENCE AT THE BRITISH LIBRARY - THE GUARDIAN

A BRIEF HISTORY OF DATA VISUALISATION Diagram of the Causes of Mortality in the Army in the East ! 1858 Florence Nightingale In her seminal ‘rose diagram’, Nightingale demonstrated that far more soldiers died from preventable epidemic diseases (blue) than from wounds inflicted on the battlefield (red) or other causes (black) during the Crimean War (1853-56) BEAUTIFUL SCIENCE AT THE BRITISH LIBRARY - THE GUARDIAN

- 37. A QUICK INTRO TO R What is R? ! R is a free programming language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. ! Created by statisticians for statisticians. ! Comes with a lot of facilities for data manipulation, calculation, data analysis and graphical display. @mseckington
- 38. A QUICK INTRO TO R What is R? ! R is a free programming language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. ! Created by statisticians for statisticians. ! Comes with a lot of facilities for data manipulation, calculation, data analysis and graphical display. ! Highly and easily extensible. @mseckington
