Maths and Stats by Email | Data representation: "Lots of data can be daunting – how do we know quickly and easily what it all means? Technology is helping us to explore the vast quantities of information we now collect.

There are many technologies to choose from – from the humble graphic calculator or spreadsheet, all the way to inputting data into open source software followed by the use of a 3D modelling suite to create designs. These exciting tools can help you unpack data, knowledge and statistics because of their power and accessibility.

Once statistics have been collected and analysed, a decision must be made on the best way to communicate key messages contained within the data. Often, one or two important pieces of information need to be emphasised. One way to achieve this is through a static visualisation, such as a graph or chart."
