Categories for the Working Mathematician is a foundational textbook in category theory that systematically develops the subject and its applications for professional mathematicians.
-
D.
category theory
Category theory is a branch of mathematics that studies abstract structures and relationships between them using the language of objects and morphisms, providing a unifying framework across many areas of math and theoretical computer science.
-
E.
Curry–Howard correspondence
The Curry–Howard correspondence is a foundational principle in logic and computer science that establishes a deep analogy between proofs and programs, and between logical propositions and types in programming languages.
- F. None of above. chosen
