TiCT '19

Topics in Category Theory is a seminar reading at MU, the aim of the course is to explore some basic concepts of category theory, completing the content of the introductory course Category Theory.

The course has two lecturers: John Bourke and Ivan Di Liberti. Lectures take place every Monday from 16.00 to 17.50 in M3.

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 encourage the students to come up their favourite subject, but if in doubt you can browse this list.
