Specifically, category theory provides a mathe-matical language that can be deployed to describe phenomena in any mathematical context. Category theory shifts the focus away from the elements of In this course, we learn about some fundamental applications of category theory to computer science, specifically, to programming. Instead, it focuses on the relations between objects of An Introduction to Category Theory. Category theory provides a general conceptual framework that has proved fruitful in subjects as diverse as geometry, topology, theoretical computer science and foundational mathematics. What, introductory paper to category theory provides the Yoneda Lemma as a stepping stone which must be understood before grappling with more complex concepts in category A \category is an abstraction based on this idea of objects and morphisms. The power of category theory arises A category Cis defined as follows: One announces some constituents (A. Leinster’s book [7] (available for free online, under a free license) gives a concise When one studies groups, rings, topological spaces, and so forth, one usually focuses on elements of these objects. ,  · This short introduction to category theory is for readers with relatively little mathematical background. Here is a friendly, easy-to-read textbook that explains the fundamentals at a level suitable for newcomers to the subject The scientific literature on category theory in computer science is vast. We list some learning material on category theory. The rst part on Category Theory should be of interest to a general math-ematical audience with interest in algebra, geometry and Contents Preface ix Samplecorollaries x Atourofbasiccategoricalnotions xi Notetothereader xv Notationalconventions xvi Acknowledgments xvi Chapter Category TheoryCategories and FunctorsMotivation. At its heart is the concept of a universal property, important When one studies groups, rings, topological spaces, and so forth, one usually focuses on elements of these objects.

Pierce’s book [9] (available for free) gives a brief introduction to category theory with some applications to computing. Unlike most other branches of mathematics, category theory is rather uninterested in the objects be-ing considered themselves. Perhaps surprisingly given this level of generality, these concepts are neither meaningless and nor in many cases so clearly visible prior to their advent Category theory is an interdisciplinary eld of mathematics which takes on a new perspective to understanding mathematical phenomena. What we are probably seeking is a “purer” view of functions: a theory of functions in themselves, not a theory of functions derived from sets. objects, B. morphisms, C. identities, D. compositions) and asserts that they conform to some laws Category theory provides a general conceptual framework that has proved fruitful in subjects as diverse as geometry, topology, theoretical computer science and Category Theory and Categorical Logic.
