Exercises are sprinkled throughout the first chapter to reinforce understanding.The prerequisites for this book are basic intuitions and notational knowledge for sets and functions; no understanding of Charity is assumed. As such, this work should be useful to anyone interested in category theory that finds programming to be a useful tool in understanding abstract ideas. In addition, as an introductory work, this book...
