Description:

Category theory is a branch of mathematics which seeks to understand abstract mathematical structures and the relationships between them. Originating in investigations of connections between algebra and topology, category theory has broad applications across various branches of pure mathematics, as well as logic, computer science, linguistics and physics. This symposium will enable research students of category theory and related disciplines to meet, learn from each other, and establish new collaborations.
