Seven Sketches in Compositionality: An Invitation to Applied Category
Theory
B. Fong, and D. Spivak. (2018)cite arxiv:1803.05316Comment: 243 pages.
Abstract
This book is an invitation to discover advanced topics in category theory
through concrete, real-world examples. It aims to give a tour: a gentle, quick
introduction to guide later exploration. The tour takes place over seven
sketches, each pairing an evocative application, such as databases, electric
circuits, or dynamical systems, with the exploration of a categorical
structure, such as adjoint functors, enriched categories, or toposes.
No prior knowledge of category theory is assumed.
