Such are those faced with the analysis of the quantitative data of the social sciences having areal significance. Sociologists, political scientists, economists, and geographers are among those who are often forced to adopt the areal techniques with which they are most familiar without convenient recourse to an adequate survey of the entire store of tools at hand.
