Brendan Fong and David Spivak introduce applied category theory through seven interconnected examples. The book uses ordering systems, resources, databases, collaborative design, signal flow, circuits and systems behaviour to show how abstract mathematical structures can organise practical problems.
Each chapter starts with a concrete motivation and develops the associated concepts, including adjunctions, monoidal categories, profunctors, operads and toposes. About 240 exercises and their solutions encourage active exploration. This complete October 2018 author text, distributed with MIT OpenCourseWare's applied category theory course, preserves its diagrams, bibliography and solution appendix.
