Category theory links

Category Theory Resources/Links

Here are some things I’ve come across. I think, especially with category theory, that it’s vitally important to see the subject tackled from as many angles as possible (for instance, the computer-science perspective on limits and colimits cleared a lot of things up for me). Note that this list is constantly being chopped and changed as I come across new stuff. If you have any recommendations of things to add, I’m always open to suggestions. I don’t think it’s toooo necessary to give a comment on any of the links, you should be able to evaluate them all yourself pretty quickly.

One Comment

  1. How about a section on demonstrations? Here at http://www.j-paine.org/cgi-bin/webcats/webcats.php is a Web-based program I wrote that generates examples of products, equalisers, and other constructions in the category of sets. It’s great for actually getting down to details and seeing how these things work.
