I have given introductory courses in Category Theory (including Monads),
Toposes, Locales, Synthetic Differential Geometry in Mexico (UNAM), Spain
(University of the Balearic Islands, Spain), and Egypt (Cairo University).
The background material can be incorporated intro the lectures as needed.

Bdest wishes,
Marta
