📊 #dataviz #history Who invented the bar chart? Everyone credits William Playfair in his 1785 Commercial and Political Atlas

I give that honor to the cartographer Phillipe Buache for lovely 1767 chart of the heights of water along the Seine.

But there's more ⬇️
A proto bar chart by Buache 1767. Titled: Echelle du Pont de la Touradelle. The columns show the height of water in the months Jan. - Dec, probably averaged over several years. Horizontal lines show some events, like a flood in 1740. A similar chart from 1770 for the Seine, with a numerical table at the top. Portrait of Phillipe Buache

Terence Tao (@teorth.bsky.social) has written a thread on Mastodon about the impact of the federal grant freeze to UCLA, particularly to his own field of Mathematics. UCLA's IPAM (Institute of Pure and Applied Mathematics) could shut down entirely

Turns out, human decision-making to detect the Traitors is "really not very good." Can this also explain the US election of the biggest Traitor of all? 🤔

One of my favourite #ggplot tricks is wrapping long axis labels so they don't take up so much space on your chart

Image 2 - With wrapping

A chiliagon is a 1000-sided polygon, famous in philosophy for Descartes using it as an example of the diff b/w imagining something visually and conceptualizing it.

Anyway I tried to get Gemini to draw it

This is going to make you feel very small.

Fly away from the surface of Earth, past the Sun, out of the Solar System, through the closest stars, leave the Milky Way, to the cosmic web of galaxies in the nearby Universe.

When PISA classified kids around the world by how they approached math, it turned out that those who relied on memorization (vs. deeper understanding or relations among concepts) were the lowest achievers in every country. And rote learning of math facts predominated in the US: tinyurl.com/2kfpkm7s
Why Math Education in the U.S. Doesn't Add Up
Research shows that an emphasis on memorization, rote procedures and speed impairs learning and achievement

My linocut print of mathematician & astronomer Nicole-Reine Lepaute (1723-1788) in a vertical gradient (bottom to top) of bright pink to lavender on white paper. She wears a wig and gown and the portrait is from the chest to head. Her 12 diagrams of the phases of the annular the solar eclipse of 1764 as viewed from Paris appear across her shoulders. Behind her head in green is her map of the path of the eclipse across Europe.
