People still try to search for new effective methods to analyze the given data. Topological data analysis (TDA) is just one way for doing this, and multiparameter persistent homology is currently one of the favorite areas of TDA. Moreover, Betti tables is an important invariant in multiparameter persistent homology. The aim of this thesis is to give a survey about Betti tables also known as multigraded Betti numbers. In this thesis, we elaborate the article On the Support of the Betti Tables of Multiparameter Persistent Homology Modules, which gives a bound to support of the Betti tables of some special multiparameter persistence modules. After giving the necessary background about the topic, we give an equivalent definition for Betti tables of a persistence module by using Koszul complex, and we construct Koszul complexes of persistence modules iteratively. Then, a proof of bounding the support of the Betti tables of the given persistence module by using the critical cells of a discrete gradient vector field is given. Lastly, for the case n = 2 this result is strengthened.
