15 Introduction to Topology
16 History Seven Bridges of Königsberg Euler cycle problem Abstraction of connectivity Topology: qualitative geometry from the ordinary geometry in which quantitative relations chiefly are treated
17 Homeomorphism Connectivity Intuitively, two spaces have the same topology if one can continuously deform one to the other without breaking, gluing, and inserting new things open curve closed curve self-intersecting curve Trefoil knot Two spaces with the same topology are homeomorphic
18
19 Relaxation of Homeomorphism Homotopy equivalent Homologous
20 Topological Quantities Homeomorphism homotopy equivalence homology Describe the qualitative structure of input space at different levels Quantities invariant under them (topological quantities) => (Essential) features Make topologic objects powerful for feature identification and characterization This course will give Definition, intuition, and their computation Also examples of applications
21 Topological objects Not just features of space, one can also incorporate geometry, also functions or maps of a space to capture more sophisticated features
22 Topological objects Not just features of space, one can also incorporate geometry, also functions or maps of a space to capture more sophisticated features
23 Topological objects Not just features of space, one can also incorporate geometry, also functions or maps of a space to capture more sophisticated features
24 Topological objects Not just features of space, one can also incorporate geometry, also functions or maps of a space to capture more sophisticated features
25 Topological objects Not just features of space, one can also incorporate geometry, also functions or maps of a space to capture more sophisticated features

31 Topological objects Not just features of space, one can also incorporate geometry, also functions or maps of a space to capture more sophisticated features
32 Topological objects Not just features of space, one can also incorporate geometry, also functions or maps of a space to capture more sophisticated features
33 Topological objects Not just features of space, one can also incorporate geometry, also functions or maps of a space to capture more sophisticated features
34 Topological objects Not just features of space, one can also incorporate geometry, also functions or maps of a space to capture more sophisticated features
35 To summarize Topological concepts Captures coarse yet essential information about data, space, or functions Topological objects / methods Are powerful due to their generality Are flexible, can describe geometric information or any other information of interests (modeled as functions / maps) They form natural tools for Feature identification, characterization of space / data
36 Topics Basics in Topology Common complexes Homology Persistence Homology inference from Data Scalar field analysis Reeb graph / contour tree Hierarchical clustering Mapper and multiscale-mapper Data sparsification Issue of noise Or (discrete) Morse theory Will focus on not only concepts, definitions, algorithms, also intuition why they work, and how they can be used.
