Orav, Markus (author)Category theory is a branch of mathematics that is used to abstract and generalize other mathematical concepts. Its core idea is to take the emphasis off the details of the elements of these concepts and put it on the relationships between them instead. The elements can then be characterized in terms of their relationships using various...bachelor thesis 2023
