Thank you for your comment. This inspired me to try to take another stab at studying category theory. I'll start with this lecture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8LbkfSSR58&list=PLbgaMIhjbmEnaH_LTkxLI7FMa2HsnawM_ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8LbkfSSR58&list=PLbgaMIhjbm...
Are there any good books you can recommend on the subject?
- omaranto 6y agoWhat book will suit you depends on your background. If you have a solid background in math, say an undergraduate degree in math, my favorite book is Emily Riehl's Category Theory in Context [1] (the "context" in the title refers to a background in math). If you don't know that much math, I'd recommend Tom Leinster's Basic Category Theory [2] or Steve Awodey's Category Theory [3] (particularly if you have some background in computer science or programming).
