Prof Ulrike Tillmann, Mathematical Institute, Oxford will give the colloquium
Title: The shape of data
Abstract: The field of topological data analysis is still quite young. We will give an introduction, look at some applications,
and discuss theoretical challenges. Beyond some basic linear algebra, little previous knowledge will be assumed.
