Data have been, are, and will be collected in every scientific discipline. Data provide a foundation to evaluate hypotheses and advance knowledge. For centuries scientists have collected data and built models separately with methods and principles defined in their disciplines. Modern technological advances have resulted in a data revolution. Data now come fast in all forms and in high volumes, presenting both new challenges and opportunities in many disciplines. In this course we will discuss how data is collected and visually summarized and how modern technology has allowed for the collection of big data, resulting in a revolution in the way we live, work, and think.
