In mathematics, especially geometry, a simplicial complex is a topological space constructed by "gluing together" points, line segments, triangles, and their n-dimensional counterparts.
Simplicial set
Simplicial complexes should not be confused with the more abstract notion of a simplicial set appearing in modern simplicial homotopy theory.
Abstract simplicial complex
The purely combinatorial counterpart to a simplicial complex is an abstract simplicial complex.
