First sentence: Homology is a very powerful tool in that it allows one to draw conclusions about global properties of spaces and maps from local computations.
Description: "As well as providing a highly accessible introduction to the mathematical theory, the authors describe a variety of potential applications of homology in fields such as digital image processing and nonlinear dynamics. The material is aimed at a broad audience of engineers, computer scientists, nonlinear scientists, and applied mathematicians."--BOOK JACKET.
