Data Analysis and Visualization (TTC8040-3009)

Purpose:
For the development of modern applications and for their functionality, a vital part is played by the data analysis concerning the data. Applications use data that is to be presented to the end users. For the end user, data as such is not in a presentable format. Hence, analysis methods are needed to support the end user who makes the decisions based on the information content.
