Cellular Geography
Captain Ahab, in the film version of "Moby Dick," searches for the white whale with the aid of a geographical map on which are noted sighting-frequencies within 5-degree cells bounded by lines of latitude and longitude. The written version of the story, dating from circa 1830, does not con...

One of the motivations for the use of such partitionings is their "objectivity."
