Topology for computing / Book / Afra J. Zomorodian. - Cambridge, UK ; New York : Cambridge University Press, 2005. - xiii, 243 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm. - Cambridge monographs on applied and computational mathematics ; 16 .
Written by a computer scientist for computer scientists, this book teaches topology from a computational point of view, and shows how to solve real problems that have topological aspects involving computers. Such problems arise in many areas, such as computer graphics, robotics, structural biology, and chemistry. The author starts from the basics of topology, assuming no prior exposure to the subject, and moves rapidly up to recent advances in the area, including topological persistence and hierarchical Morse complexes. Algorithms and data structures are presented when appropriate.
