Description

Mastering Data Visualization: Theory and Foundations. This course teaches you the fundamentals of data visualization theory so you can create stunning, informative, accurate, and effectively communicated charts. Have you noticed that more and more charts are being produced every day? If you turn on the TV, you’ll see a bar chart showing the spread of Covid, if you go on Twitter, you’ll see a bunch of line charts showing the price of gas. In newspapers, you’ll see a ton of infographics about the latest discoveries. The reason is that we have so much data now, and the most natural way to communicate data is visually: through data visualization. But have you noticed all the mistakes in these visualizations? I have to say that many of the charts I see regularly have one problem or another. Maybe their color choices are confusing, they’ve chosen the wrong chart type, or they display the data in a distorted way.
