 Title: Drawing Time-Varying Reeb Graphs\n
 Given 
 a real-valued function on a topological 
 space, the Reeb graph encodes the changing 
 component structure of the level sets; this 
 graph also inherits a real-valued function from 
 this setup. The Reeb graph is utilized in 
 a variety of computational topology and topological 
 data analysis applications in order to 
 get a lower dimension representation of a structure 
 which maintains topological properties 
 of the original data. Its applications appear 
 in a wide range of research domains, however, 
 to date these applications are generally 
 limited to the computation of a Reeb graph from 
 a single, stagnant space. We are interested 
 in developing theoretically motivated and robust 
 visualizations for time-varying Reeb graphs.\n\n
