The Deranged Mathematician: Thinking Categorically
A few weeks ago, I wrote an article on set theory and how it occupies a central space in mathematics. We also discussed some of the drawbacks of expressing everything set theoretically---it is a little like writing code in raw binary (or at least machine code). This time, I'm giving an introduction to an alternative: category theory, which naturally grants the necessary abstraction. Of course, this comes at a cost, which we discuss as well.
