Assuming a minimum of mathematical preparation, \u003ci\u003eBasic Category Theory for Computer Scientists\u003c\/i\u003e provides a straightforward presentation of the basic constructions and terminology of category theory, including limits, functors, natural transformations, adjoints, and cartesian closed categories. Four case studies illustrate applications of category theory to programming language design, semantics, and the solution of recursive domain equations. A brief literature survey offers suggestions for further study in more advanced texts. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eTutorial - Applications - Further Reading\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-16596924\"\u003eBenjamin C.
