Abstract
Manual recording of data? In this, the computer age? Well, the fact is that pencil and paper are often more effective than the computer. And when was the last time you had a fuse blow on a pencil? I am asking you to look at graphical means of recording data, first because they are useful in making sense of the data, in seeing what the picture is. But secondly, many of these manual techniques arc so good, that it’s worthwhile doing them on the computer as well. So although you will start with purely pencil and paper methods, later on you will get to use your computer to great effect.
