An Invitation to Applied Category Theory

Beschreibung

Category theory reveals commonalities between structures of all sorts. This self-contained tour of applied category theory shows its potential in science, engineering, and beyond. Each chapter discusses a real-world application using category-theoretic tools, all of which are introduced in an accessible way with many examples and exercises.

Autor

Brendan Fong is a postdoctoral associate in the Department of Mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His research explores how we use pictures to represent and reason about the systems around us, and how to understand the world from a relational point of view. These topics find their intersection in applied category theory.
