SYMBOLS AND PICTORIAL REPRESENTATIONS
Often complex mathematical or financial information is better presented in a symbolic or
pictorial form.
Such forms might include a variety of graphs, charts or pictograms. These are used to avoid
having to comprehend a large number of figures. They are very useful for determining trends
or patterns, however if greater detail is required, it is often necessary to refer to the original
figures.
Some examples of these forms are displayed below.
