Historical Graphics

 

Date: Wednesday, February 06
Time: 3:10 pm -- 4:00 pm
Place: Snedecor 2113 Snedecor
Speaker: Karsten Maurer, Department of Statistics, ISU

Abstract:

We will explore plots that helped to shape the history of statistical graphics by displaying data in new and powerful ways.  The plots by John Snow, Florence Nightingale, E.J. Marey, William Playfair and others will be opened for discussion.  The focus will be on the significance of these plots within the development of graphical practice as well as significance within the broader lens of history.
