Category Theory in Computer Science

Category Theory in Computer Science will commence at Kutaisi International University on February 21, 2024. The sessions will be held on Tuesdays 20:00-21:30, in auditorium G7. The seminar is designed for mathematics and computer science bachelor students, with the goal of identifying common ground between the two fields.

Some literature:

  • For classical mathematical source, find Categories for the working mathematician by Saunders Mac Lane. Graduate Texts in Mathematics, 5. Springer-Verlag, New York, 1998. xii+314 pp. ISBN: 0-387-98403-8
  • For a nice mathematical approach rich with examples, see Category Theory in Context by Emily Riehl.
  • For the very brief introduction (also rich with relevant examples and exercises) for Computer science students, see Category Theory for Programming by Benedikt Ahrens and Kobe Wullaert.
