The purpose of this wiki is to provide a public platform where people can learn about recent approaches to data analysis via topological and geometrical techniques. To achieve this we follow two complementary approaches:
 
* The foundations of topology and geometry are well known to most mathematicians, but less so to researchers in the natural sciences, who we believe might benefit greatly from incorporating related techniques into their toolbox. To remedy this we collect the most important elements of the underlying theory and provide introductory articles to the relevant subjects.

To remedy this we collect the most important elements of the underlying theory and provide introductory articles to the relevant subjects.
 
* Analysing and handling real-life data is an art well-developed in the natural sciences, but may at times seem enigmatic to mathematicians, who usually are not exposed to large sets of data on a daily basis. It is apparent that an implementation of the theoretical ideas on computers is paramount for applications, so we provide a list of existing software and offer a number of short tutorials. We furthermore present case studies of real-life applications.

We hope that in establishing this wiki from these two perspectives, researchers from both mathematics and natural sciences are provided with the relevant background to easily approach each other, laying ground for fruitful collaborations.

In this wiki a brief introduction to computational topological methods shall be given, beginning with an example analysis. A primer on computational topology theory follows, including the most important theorems of the topological constructions undertaken, leading over to a few recent research examples, in which these methods are applied. Subsequently, several numerical examples are given, which might serve as points of entry for individual first steps with computational topology methods.
