Purpose of this course note
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.
Category theory, a branch of abstract
algebra, has found many applications in mathematics, logic, and computer
science. Like such fields as elementary logic and set theory, category theory
provides a basic conceptual apparatus and a collection of formal methods useful
for addressing certain kinds of commonly occurring formal and informal problems,
particularly those involving structural and functional considerations. This
course note is intended to acquaint students with these methods, and also
to encourage them to reflect on the interrelations between category theory and
the other basic formal disciplines.
