  1. Charts and graphs are a great way to visually demonstrate relationships between different variables and to strengthen arguments in various fields. They allow for people that may not be familiar with certain topics to gain a broad understudying of them from looking at the general relationships present in the graphs.

  2. The charts show a overview of what is really happening and a clearer vision of the data that is presented and the results from the studies. The chart was mildly difficult to insert given the placement in the same sheet when dealing with the fusion table.

  3. This has been one of the most challenging homework sets that I remember doing to date. Finding a way to make the charts appear used proved to be a large hurdle. Hopefully, I managed to do it correctly.

  4. "Highly Illustrative!" This phrase, used in reference to the portrayal of information through charts and graphs, is a phrase that continuously travels through the halls of Goldman Sachs' 200 West Street Head Office. During my summer internship, I prepared a countless number of such structures. Their constant use in the corporate environment stems from their unquestionable value in the portrayal of information. As Boris mentioned, charts and graphs are a great way to illustrate information in a manner where relationships between data can be revealed. They also allow for the summary of mass information into simplified structures that relay the same message. It is for this reason that charts and graphs are so commonly used in their portrayal of data.
