I would be grateful if members of this list could give me their recommendations for introductory books on category theory. In particular, what is your opinion of "Conceptual Mathematics: A First Introduction to Categories" by Lawvere and Schanuel?
Another source is the set of notes compiled by Mario Caccamo, based on lecture courses given by Martin Hyland and Glynn Winskel, at http://www.brics.dk/~mcaccamo/ Being lecture notes, they're quite "tight" and to the point, thus not particularly chatty. Perhaps they'd be a good complement to the Lawvere-Schanuel book (which personally I like a great deal). Tom 10-Jul-2001 14:34:24 -0300,2105;000000000000-00000015
