Notes on Category Theory with examples from basic mathematics
by Paolo Perrone
Publisher: arXiv 2021
Number of pages: 181
Description:
These notes were originally developed as lecture notes for a category theory course. They should be well-suited to anyone that wants to learn category theory from scratch and has a scientific mind. There is no need to know advanced mathematics, nor any of the disciplines where category theory is traditionally applied.

Basic Concepts of Enriched Category Theoryby Max Kelly - Cambridge University Press
The book presents a selfcontained account of basic category theory, assuming as prior knowledge only the most elementary categorical concepts. It is designed to supply a connected account of the theory, or at least of a substantial part of it.
