Product Description

The fundamental concepts of category theory are explained in this text which allows the reader to develop their understanding gradually. With over 300 exercises, students are encouraged to monitor their progression. A wide coverage of topics in category theory and computer science is developed including introductory treatments of cartesian closed categories, sketches and elementary categorical model theory, and triples. The presentation is informal with proofs included only when they are instructive, providing a broad coverage of the competing texts on category theory in computer science.

4.0 out of 5 stars Still available, August 14, 2007

By	Vadim (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews

This book is not out of print.

A very nice (and economical) paperback copy of the 3rd edition is still available from the authors at the Centre de Recherches Math�matiques at the Universit� de Montr�al. I wish it were listed here, but it's not; so I mention it.

The text itself is useful if you're coming to category theory from a background other than pure math.
