This course is an attempt to extol the virtues of a new branch of mathematics, called category theory, which was invented for powerful communication of ideas between different fields and subfields within mathematics. I haven't had the opportunity to check Lang. Sheaves and Geometry in Logic: A First Introduction to Topos Theory, Springer-Verlag, 1992. He suggests that a good introduction to a category-based view of differential geometry is given in Lang, S. Sheaves in Geometry and Logic: A First Introduction to Topos Theory (Universitext). Later this will lead naturally on to an infinite sequence of steps: first 2-category theory which focuses on relation between relations, morphisms between morphisms: 2-morphisms, then 3-category theory, etc. [MacLane and Moerdijk, 1992] MacLane, S. Model Theory and Topoi book download Download Model Theory and Topoi Sheaves also appear in logic as carriers for models of set theory.. The reason for introducing categories was to introduce functors, and the reason for introducing functors was to introduce natural transformations (more specifically natural equivalences) in order to define what natural means in mathematics. Sheaves in Geometry and Logic: A First Introduction to Topos. Logic: A First Introduction to Topos Theory. On the other hand, philosophers and philosophical logicians can employ category theory and categorical logic to explore philosophical and logical problems. (1972), Differential manifolds, Addison Wesley, London. Sheaves in Geometry and Logic - A First Introduction to Topos Theory This book is an introduction to the theory of toposes, as first developed by Grothendieck and later developed by Lawvere and Tierney. Framework, traditional boundaries between disciplines are shattered and reconfigured; to mention but one important example, topos theory provides a direct bridge between algebraic geometry and logic, to the point where certain results in algebraic geometry are directly translated into logic and vice versa. By powerful communication of ideas I . Categories for the Working Mathematician, 2nd ed. Categories for the Working Mathematician, volume 5 of Grad- uate Texts in Mathematics.
