Dear colleagues,
Could someone recommend a good text on the subject? I am aware of the book by Barr and Wells; however, unlike that book, which is intended for computer scientists who want to learn category theory, I am looking for something, in a way, opposite: a source for those who know category theory but not much of computer science.
I can recommend the following books: “Categorical Logic and Type Theory” by Bart Jacobs http://www.cs.ru.nl/B.Jacobs/CLT/bookinfo.html “Categories for Types” by Roy Crole http://www.amazon.com/Categories-Studies-Emotion-Social-Interaction/dp/05214... Both of these are related to the study of type theory — and logic — which can be seen as a logical foundation to functional programming. So not in terms of CS in general. The following is another “introduction” to category theory, but has lots of examples: “Categories for Computer Science” by R. F. C. Walters http://www.amazon.com/Categories-Computer-Science-Cambridge-Texts/dp/0521422... These are all the ones I can think of right now. I am interested in what others have to offer. I have not found much in the way of books covering a wide spectra of CS, but rather only specialties. Very best, .\ Harley
Many thanks in advance.
