Topological methods in data analysis and visualization [electronic resource] : theory, algorithms, and applications / Valerio Pascucci [and others], editors.

Topology-based methods are of increasing importance in the analysis and visualization of datasets from a wide variety of scientific domains such as biology, physics, engineering, and medicine. Current challenges of topology-based techniques include the management of time-dependent data, the represen...
