Description
A comprehensive introduction to computational geometry and topology, this book provides a thorough understanding of the fundamental concepts and techniques in the field. The first part covers essential topics such as Voronoi diagrams and Delaunay triangulations, while the central section delves into the theory of alpha complexes and their applications in biology.
The book's focus on homology theory and its computation makes it an indispensable resource for researchers and practitioners in mathematics, biology, neuroscience, and computer science. The theory of persistence, in particular, is crucial for applications such as shape reconstruction, making this book a valuable resource for graduate students and professionals alike.
