by Peter Smith
Publisher: Logic Matters 2016
Number of pages: 283
Description:
I hope that what is here may prove useful to others starting to get to grips with category theory. This text is intended to be relatively accessible; in particular, it presupposes rather less mathematical background than some texts on categories.
