Visualization

The data generated during the simulation, measurement and modeling of processes have different and sometimes complex characteristics. This lecture provides the basic knowledge on how to prepare, visualize and analyze these data. The acquired knowledge should lead to a better understanding of the underlying data and should include important algorithms and data structures for their representation. 

Watchable TED Talk by Miriah Meyer on the topic: Information Visualization for Scientific Discovery.

Last year, when the whole course was online, we collected questions and answers. You find them here: Part 1, Part 2.
