DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Mason A. Porter\n\nTopological Data Analysis (TDA)\,
  which is a mathematical approach that leverages topology to study the “
 shape” of data\, has led to insights in a diverse variety of systems acr
 oss the life\, physical\, and social sciences. In this talk\, I will give 
 a friendly introduction to TDA and in particular to persistent homology (P
 H)\, which is one of its key tools. I will illustrate the key ideas of PH 
 using Pokémon\, and I will then discuss how we can use PH to gain insight
 s into phenomena such as voting data\, the coverage of resources in a city
 \, the structure of city streets\, and the shapes of webs that are spun by
  spiders under the influence of various drugs.\n\nhttps://indico.fysik.su.
