COSC 49.09 Introduction to Computational Topology

Topology is the art of studying shapes without precise measurements. It is not surprising then that topology has found many applications in computer science, both in theoretical and applied research including algorithms and complexity theory, data analysis, robotics, computer graphics, etc., where often the input data is geometrically constrained, or noisy due to measurement errors. The course serves as an introduction to the rapidly growing area(s) of computational topology.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
