Edward Tufte

Posted Tue May 13, 2003 in

A few years ago, well maybe ten years ago, I came across a book by Edward Tufte, The Visual Display of Quantitative Information. It is a fascinating treatise into the presentation of scientific data. Being a scientist (well, an engineer), I’m deeply concerned with how to present my data. Because my results are of import to my sponsors, it’s critical that I make the best presentations possible.

I now find that he has a website, www.edwardtufte.com. It’s a great place to keep track of his current thoughts.

  1. Does that quantitative data including quorum counting at the legislature?

    I have to admit I am vastly amused by this. ;)

  2. You know, I'll betcha some clever artist has some take on this. I can't believe that they are behaving so badly.

    Furthermore, they are subject to arrest as this constitutes an illegal act — the deliberate avoidance of a quorum.

    I'm amused as well.

  3. So far, the Texas editorial cartoonists seem to favor the escapees; they sure are producing some funny drawings.
