  text: This monograph presents a short course in computational geometry and topology.
    In the first part the book covers Voronoi diagrams and Delaunay triangulations,
    then it presents the theory of alpha complexes which play a crucial role in biology.
    The central part of the book is the homology theory and their computation, including
    the theory of persistence which is indispensable for applications, e.g. shape
    reconstruction. The target audience comprises researchers and practitioners in
    mathematics, biology, neuroscience and computer science, but the book may also
    be beneficial to graduate students of these fields.
