Re: New book: Basic Category Theory
Dear Harley, Thanks! Actually, some of us were just discussing the possibility of writing a second category theory book as a collaborative venture: http://golem.ph.utexas.edu/category/2014/07/basic_category_theory.html#c0469... (But personally, I've probably had enough book-writing for a while.) Best wishes, Tom On Tue, 29 Jul 2014, Harley D. Eades III wrote:
Hi, Tom.
Congrats on the successful completion of your book!
I really like your idea on a second book. Such a book would be very helpful for young researchers and students in my opinion.
Has anyone thought about doing it as a group effort in the same spirit as the homotopy type theory book was?
A number of authors would make the writing burden far less per author, and potentially speed up the writing process.
Anyway, just an idea.
I really like how you're are making your new book editable and readable for free in 18 months. This is a great idea, and a service to the community.
The second book should do the same.
Very best, .\ Harley
