Visualising the outcome of a data analysis is critical to communicate the results. In this course we will study standard and cutting edge visualisation techniques to make sense of data, and present it in a compelling, narrative-focused story.
Presenting and visualising data and reporting on the result of an analysis are a crucial skill when making sense of data.

The goal of this course is to teach you how to use data visualisation effectively. More precisely:
We will do all this by using Mathematica. Having the power of a fully-fledged programming language allows us total freedom to customise graphs in any way we want; we can even create entirely new kinds of plots from scratch, if we need to. In addition, plots in Mathematica are not confined to being static entities: we can make them come alive, and turn plots into mini-apps that respond to inputs in many ways. In this course, you will master Mathematica's data visualisation capabilities.
Information on contact teaching time is available from the course guide.
