Syllabus tentative, final changes will be made by a week before the class. Readings should be done before the lecture.

Visualization Analysis and Design (pre-publication draft), Tamara Munzner (AK Peters, to appear 2014) is the course textbook. Chapters of this pre-publication draft will be posted on this page one week before readings are due, and are collected at the link above. Note: these book chapters are an early draft and are far from finished. Do not quote. Many things will change!

All additional readings are research papers available online, links posted below.
