Category Theory in Programming


Welcome to Category Theory in Programming, a journey into the conceptual world where mathematics meets software development. This tutorial is designed for Racket programmers who are curious about the mathematical ideas underlying computational systems.

Through this tutorial, we aim to bridge the gap between these two worlds, offering a unique perspective that enriches the programmer’s toolkit with new ways of thinking, problem-solving, and system design. Instead, we will focus on mapping these abstract concepts into programming constructs, providing a foundation that you, the reader, can build upon and apply in your work. As you embark on this journey, keep in mind that the real value of understanding in the context of programming is not merely in acquiring new knowledge but in developing a new way of thinking about problems or systems.
