Why do you think this is the best book? And would someone's background, or lack thereof, in other fields of mathematics not have a bearing on that assessment?

- threatofrain 6y agoIf someone lacks interest in math I’m not sure category theory makes sense even in the FOMO way.
- Koshkin 6y agoTo someone who is not interested in math per se but rather in its applications to engineering, category theory, too, has something to offer.
- Ceezy 6y agoCause that's it's reputation in math circles. And recommended by most of my teachers. Also because I used it a lot. You don't need to read it top to bottom. I think people here are interested by monoid and stuff. But to do the monoid part you don't really need category. An Algebra course about monoid is good enough actually.
