Check DetailsDS4073 Introduction to Data Visualisation
数据可视化基础
The aim of this course is to teach students how to create visualisations that effectively communicate the meaning behind data to an observer through visual perception. We will learn how a computer displays information using computer graphics, and how the human perceives that information visually. We will also study the forms of data, including quantitative and non-quantitative data, and how they are properly mapped to the elements of a visualisation to be perceived well by the observer. We will briefly overview some design elements for effective visualisation. The course will also cover with the integration of visualisation into database and data-mining systems to provide support for decision making, and the effective construction of a visualisation dashboard.
