Visualization of data

• Edward Tufte, Yale
  • Napolean's invasion of Russia

• Others
  • NCSA's Internet traffic map
  • WEATHER.COM's weather animations
  • SmartMarket.com's Map of the Market
  • Dialect Survey
  • Voting predictor "cartogram"

• But, the map is not the territory (the limitations of visualization, and summarization more generally)
