  text: 'Combining concepts from topology and algorithms, this book delivers what
    its title promises: an introduction to the field of computational topology. Starting
    with motivating problems in both mathematics and computer science and building
    up from classic topics in geometric and algebraic topology, the third part of
    the text advances to persistent homology. This point of view is critically important
    in turning a mostly theoretical field of mathematics into one that is relevant
    to a multitude of disciplines in the sciences and engineering. The main approach
    is the discovery of topology through algorithms. The book is ideal for teaching
    a graduate or advanced undergraduate course in computational topology, as it develops
    all the background of both the mathematical and algorithmic aspects of the subject
    from first principles. Thus the text could serve equally well in a course taught
    in a mathematics department or computer science department.'
