Abstract

In this lecture I will introduce some basic tools of algebraic topology. Abstract simplicial complexes will be introduced as a model for a world of “nice” topological spaces. I will consider certain constructions that give rise to abstract simplicial complexes, such as the flag complex associated to a graph. I will then introduce homology, describe its use and demonstrate some basic computational techniques. I will then move on to describe variations of these topological tools that are particularly suitable to neuroscience.
