ABSTRACT
Data are commonly presented in tables, charts, and graphs and by mathematical expressions. The latter may be theoretical or empirical. This chapter consists of a brief discussion of these modes of presentation. Some of these modes provide ways not only to facilitate ready access to data but also to smooth out experimental variability in finished data. Excellent discussions of data presentation will be found in the literature, especially that of a number of years ago. Modern authors have dealt less extensively with this subject. The author grew up with the books cited in the following references and recommends them for their practical approach and ease of understanding of the subject matter presented [1,2].
