18.S996 Category Theory for Scientists (MIT)

MIT OpenCourseWare: New Courses 2013-08-01

Summary:

The goal of this class is to prove that category theory is a powerful language for understanding and formalizing common scientific models. The power of the language will be tested by its ability to penetrate into taken-for-granted ideas, either by exposing existing weaknesses or flaws in our understanding, or by highlighting hidden commonalities across scientific fields.
