Book Description
Conceptual Mathematics is the first book to serve as a skeleton key to mathematics for the general reader and as an introduction to categories for computer scientists, logicians, physicists, linguists etc. This book does not presuppose knowledge of specific fields but rather develops elementary categories such as directed graphs and discrete dynamical systems from the beginning.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 376 pages. cover corner lightly worn, nice clean copyThe idea of a category--a sort of mathematical universe--has brought about a remarkable unification and simplification of mathematics. Written by two of th e best-known names in categorical logic, Conceptual Mathematics is the first boo k to apply categories to the most elementary mathematics. It thus serves two pur poses: first, to provide a key to mathematics for the general reader or beginnin g student; and second, to furnish an easy introduction to categories for compute r scientists, logicians, physicists, and linguists who want to gain some familia rity with the categorical method without initially committing themselves to exte nded study.
