Roots of Geometry and Topology -- Voronoi and Delaunay Diagrams -- Weighted Diagrams -- Three Dimensions -- Alpha Complexes -- Holes -- Area Formulas -- Topological Spaces -- Homology Groups -- Complex Construction -- Filtrations -- PL Functions -- Matrix Reduction -- Epilogue.

With the aim to bring the subject of Computational Geometry and Topology closer to the scientific audience, this book is written in thirteen ready-to-teach sections organized in four parts: TESSELLATIONS, COMPLEXES, HOMOLOGY, PERSISTENCE. To speak to the non-specialist, detailed formalisms are often avoided in favor of lively 2- and 3-dimensional illustrations. The book is warmly recommended to everybody who loves geometry and the fascinating world of shapes.
