Topology for Computing
Topology for Computing by Afra J. Zomorodian, published by Cambridge University Press on September 28, 2009, is a comprehensive resource that introduces topology from a computational perspective. This edition spans 260 pages and is written in English, making it accessible for readers with varying levels of familiarity with the subject. The book focuses on solving real-world problems that involve topological aspects in fields such as computer graphics, robotics, structural biology, and chemistry.
Readers will find that the book begins with fundamental concepts of topology, catering to those with no prior knowledge, and progresses to cover recent advancements, including topological persistence and hierarchical Morse complexes. The author integrates algorithms and data structures where relevant, providing a practical approach to the subject. This work serves as a valuable guide for computer scientists looking to understand the intersection of topology and computational applications.
Official synopsis Publisher
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.
