Editing Computational topology (section)

'''Algorithmic topology''', or '''computational topology''', is a subfield of [[topology]] with an overlap with areas of [[computer science]], in particular, [[computational geometry]] and [[computational complexity theory]].

A primary concern of algorithmic topology, as its name suggests, is to develop efficient [[algorithm]]s for solving problems that arise naturally in fields such as [[computational geometry]], [[graphics]], [[robotics]], [[social science]], [[structural biology]], and [[chemistry]], using methods from [[computable topology]].<ref>Afra J.
