Week eight journal

I think Fathom is a very cool program. It is very similar to tinker plots but i think i might like it a little better. It is definitely easier to plot data on graphs than tinker plots. Fathom makes it very easy to drag attributes from either the inspector or a table into the desired axis on the graph. Also I like how, like GSP, the data is live updating. If you drag a point on the graph the table values change, and if you change the values in the table the graph changes. One problem i had with Fathom was adding a filter to a summary table. I don't know why but I type exactly what the activity told me to but the filter kept erring in computation. I really wish I could have gotten this to work because it would be a very useful tool. The problem isn't as much with the program itself as it is with the activity sheet. Overall I really like Fathom and think it is a awesome way to compare and analyze data.
