TiCT '18

Topics in Category Theory is a seminar reading at MU. The goal is to give students a glance in category theory. The course has two lecturers: John Bourke and Ivan Di Liberti. Lectures take place in M5 every Thursday at 12.00.

This is not intended to be an introductory course, although results studied are absolutely classical.

The course is structured in 12 classes. Every student that intends to receive credits from the course is expected to give a talk. The subject of this talk will be decided by both the student and the lecturers in the first lessons.

We had two contributed lectures by F. Loregian and M. Lieberman. Lectures given by the stutends are highlighted by an asterisk.
