Looked for some clear statement of why we care, and what problems On the other hand, if you're a mathematician, you may want to skim the bits where I review basic category theory, and just dig in where I am talking about the computer programming perspective. It is fairly short and straightforward and doesn't require a lot of background knowledge. Every transition has a finite set of Vladimiro Sassone, On the category of Petri net computations, 6th International Conference on Theory and Practice of Software Development, Proceedings of TAPSOFT '95_, Lecture Notes in Computer Science 915, Springer, Berlin, pp. Schanuel - I started reading this book from recommendation by Paul Snively as a precursor to Benjamin Pierce's Category Theory for Computer Scientists. This is attractive stuff if you are a computer science and category theory nerd - and I am! The boxes denote transitions, which in this example are chemical reaction. I read a book titled "Basic Category Theory for Computer Scientists" by Benjamin C.Pierce a few months ago. The terms covariant and contravariant were defined in category theory before computer scientists applied the terms to object oriented programming. Many of the proofs are done in diagram form (and it seems to very greatly reduce their lengths). Categories for the Working Mathematician - S. Logic : A Concise Introduction To Logic - Hurley 7th ed. Category Theory : Basic Category Theory for Computer Scientists - B. (fx) - this is exactly η-equivalence, a common condition to add on to the basic λ-calculus. The circles in a Petri net denote so-called states, which in this example are chemical compounds. This is an excellent introduction to Category Theory - Often debated on its usefulness in the practical world, category theory gives you the basic understanding of programming language design, semantics and domain theory. Or if you're interested in mathematics, have you heard murmurs in the past about how category theory interests computer science people? So I found a basic category theory book online and was trying to learn some of the basics.
