For the list:

David Mumford, who does applied math (pattern recognition) here at
Brown, asks the following:

"I have a student who has never done topology but needs to master
some because of Gunnar Carlsson's latest stuff with clustering in
high dimensional spaces. Can you recommend a good intro book,
starting with basic finite simplicial complexes, lots of examples and
-- if possible -- doing Cech coho?"

I'll bet people on the list have some good answers.
