Description
Concerned with the mathematical theory of surfaces, objects and their boundaries in discrete spaces, this text provides a self-contained and mathematically precise introduction to the field. It is application-oriented and presents problems of visualization and analysis of multidimensional data sets. The primary areas of mathematics used are graph theory and topology.
