We give an introduction to topological data analysis, a method of data analysis that involves topology. As mathematical foundations, we also learn the basics of computational topology and computational geometry.
The goal is to understand the fundamental concepts of computational topology/geometry and become proficient in applying them to practical topological data analysis.
