UHM - I really need to know more about you/what you know - because this is a passion of mine as seeking the next thing I want to focus on - and the terminology that you have is exactly where I want my knowledge to be.

Please point me at what I should study to be proficient in topological data science (which is what I want to study)

Are you sure you mean topological data science? I know that there are topological methods for classifying high-dimensional data structures, but this discussion is mostly geographical/topographical. Yes, it does describe a surface, but there's a fundamental assumption that all objects are either on a plane or a sphere.

edit: If you mean GIS (geographical information systems/science), there are plenty of undergraduate courses strewn over github. IMO, the R geospatial ecosystem is more mature than its Python counterpart, but both are very usable.

Thank you, I didnt have the vocabulary to acurately describe my interest - I appreciate it. Thanks.

EDIT: I also made up "topological data science" - not sure thats a thing, but I want it to be.
