  • A. “Abelian Categories: An Introduction to the Theory of Functors”
    “Abelian Categories: An Introduction to the Theory of Functors” is a foundational monograph in category theory that systematically develops the theory of abelian categories and functors, significantly shaping modern homological algebra.
  • B. Sketches of an Elephant: A Topos Theory Compendium
    Sketches of an Elephant: A Topos Theory Compendium is a comprehensive, multi-volume reference work on topos theory that systematically develops and surveys the subject at an advanced research level.
  • C. Categories for the Working Mathematician
    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
