+Introduction
+************
+
+The Python interface for the Gudhi library (Geometry Understanding in Higher
+Dimensions) is a generic open source
+`Python module <http://gudhi.gforge.inria.fr/python/latest/>`_, for
+Computational Topology and Topological Data Analysis
+(`TDA <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topological_data_analysis>`_).
+The GUDHI library intends to help the development of new algorithmic solutions
+in TDA and their transfer to applications. It provides robust, efficient,
+flexible and easy to use implementations of state-of-the-art algorithms and
+data structures.
+
+The current release of the GUDHI library includes:
+
+* Data structures to represent, construct and manipulate simplicial complexes.
+* Simplification of simplicial complexes by edge contraction.
+* Algorithms to compute persistent homology and bottleneck distance.
+
+We refer to :cite:`gudhilibrary_ICMS14` for a detailed description of the
+design of the library.
