Mathematician and popular science author Eugenia Cheng is on a
mission to show you that mathematics can be flexible, creative, and
visual. This joyful journey through the world of abstract
mathematics into category theory will demystify mathematical
thought processes and help you develop your own thinking, with no
formal mathematical background needed. The book brings abstract
mathematical ideas down to earth using examples of social justice,
current events, and everyday life - from privilege to COVID-19 to
driving routes. The journey begins with the ideas and workings of
abstract mathematics, after which you will gently climb toward more
technical material, learning everything needed to understand
category theory, and then key concepts in category theory like
natural transformations, duality, and even a glimpse of ongoing
research in higher-dimensional category theory. For fans of How to
Bake Pi, this will help you dig deeper into mathematical concepts
and build your mathematical background.
