Topology: A Categorical Approach
Topology: A Categorical Approach
I've been collaborating on an exciting project for quite some time now, and today I'm happy to share it with you. There is a new topology book on the market! Topology: A Categorical Approach is a graduate-level textbook that presents basic topology from the modern perspective of category theory. Coauthored with Tyler Bryson and John Terilla, Topology is published through MIT Press and will be released on August 18, 2020. But you can pre-order on Amazon now!

This is part 2 of our episode on multiplying things that aren't numbers. You can check out part 1: The Multiplication Multiverse right here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4I2C3Ts7_w Tweet at us! @pbsinfinite Facebook: facebook.com/pbsinfinite series Email us! pbsinfiniteseries [at] gmail [dot] com And discuss the episode further over on reddit at https://www.reddit.com/r/PBSInfiniteSeries/ Previous Episode The Multiplication Multiverse | Infinite Series https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4I2C3Ts7_w In our last episode, we talked about different properties of multiplication: associativity and commutativity are the most familiar, but they’re just two of many. We also saw it’s possible to multiply things that aren’t numbers, and in that case we may not have... associativity, for instance. But that’s not a bad thing. In fact, it’s a beautiful thing!

From [Adrien Vakili](vaki.li) General Topology Munkres -- Topology Chapter 1, sections 1-6 Chapter 2 Chapter 3, sections 1-2 Algebraic Topology Hatcher -- Algebraic Topology Provides good geometric intuition but avoids categorical language. Chapters 0, 1, 4 Strom -- Modern Classical Homotopy Theory More axiomatic/categorical treatment. Fomenko -- Visual Geometry and Topology For pictures.

Seemingly Impossible Swift Programs
Seemingly Impossible Swift Programs
I begin to feel that I can trust mathematics as a guiding beacon for how programming can be done well. This is why I feel strongly that simple mathematical constructs, like pure functions, monoids, etc., form a strong foundation of abstraction as opposed to the overly complicated, and often ad-hoc, design patterns we see in software engineering. ​ I spend a lot of my time trying to find new and creative ways to bring seemingly complex functional programming ideas down to earth and make them approachable to a wider audience. ​ but it does give us an opportunity to explore a strange and surprising result in computation and mathematics. It can help show that the connection between the two topics is perhaps deeper than we may first think.
