Dynamical Systems and Sheavesby D. I. Spivak, C. Vasilakopoulou, P. Schultz - arXiv
A categorical framework for modeling and analyzing systems in a broad sense is proposed. These systems should be thought of as 'machines' with inputs and outputs, carrying some sort of signal that occurs through some notion of time.

Notes on Category Theory with examples from basic mathematicsby Paolo Perrone - arXiv
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.
