Exercise 3: Data

Exercise 3 is the “data” counterpart to the previous exercises.

Make sure to do the following
1. Label post Exercise 3
2. Create a single-click version of your code to upload.
3. Post multiple results /images/videos/ (at least 3).
4. Think hard about the viewer’s perspective.
5. Follow the presentation section guidelines that we have set out earlier.

The objective of this exercise is to take “numeric” data from one or more sources (govt web sites, UN web sites, online data bases, etc.) and to create some sort of interesting system based on some form of interesting computation on the data (analysis, statistics, classification, clustering , visualization, distortion, etc.) and then displaying the result(s) in some fashion. Of course, you can combine other kinds of information with the numeric data but numbers do have to play some kind of important role.
