Parallel Coordinates -- Visual Multidimensional Geometry and Its Applications

A. Inselberg, Springer, New York

This book is about visualization, systematically incorporating the fantastic human pattern recognition into the problem-solving process, and focusing on parallel coordinates. The barrier, imposed by our three-dimensional habitation and perceptual experience, has been breached by this innovative and versatile methodology. The accurate visualization of multidimensional problems and multivariate data unlocks insights into the role of dimensionality.

Learn why Stephen Hawking said "Well done!" about this book.

Key features of Parallel Coordinates:

  1. An easy-to read self-contained chapter on data mining and information visualization.
  2. Numerous exercises with solutions, from basic to advanced topics, course projects and research directions.
  3. "Fast Track" markers throughout provide a quick grasp of essential material.
  4. Interactive Learning Module (ILM) CD designed for classroom demonstration and fun experimentation for mastering key topics and examples cross-referenced in the text.
  5. Extensive bibliography, index, and a chapter containing a collection of recent results (i.e. visualizing large networks, complex-valued functions and more).

Parallel Coordinates requires only an elementary knowledge of linear algebra. It is well-suited for self-study and as a textbook (or companion)... more on
