# TDA Explorer

**Interactive Topological Data Analysis** - Explore persistent homology, Betti numbers, and simplicial complexes on point cloud datasets.

## Features

- **8 preset datasets**: Circle, Figure-8, Concentric Circles, Clusters, Moons, Sphere (3D), Torus (3D), Random Noise
- **Persistent homology**: Compute H0 (components), H1 (loops), H2 (voids) using Ripser
- **Persistence diagrams & barcodes**: Visualize feature birth/death
- **Interactive filtration**: Drag the epsilon slider to watch the Vietoris-Rips complex form in real time
- **Betti numbers**: Live count of topological features at any scale
- **Custom data**: Upload your own CSV point cloud
- **Educational**: Learn TDA concepts with the built-in guide

## How to Use

1. Select a dataset and click **Generate & Analyze**
2. Explore the persistence diagram and barcode to understand the topology
3. Drag the **epsilon slider** to see how the simplicial complex evolves
4. Watch Betti numbers change as you adjust the filtration
5. Upload your own data (CSV with x,y or x,y,z columns)
