Dear All,
I recently posted a new paper on the arXiv. https://arxiv.org/abs/1710.03090
Title: Theoretical Computer Science for the Working Category
Theorist
Abstract: Theoretical computer science discusses foundational issues
about computations. It asks and answers questions such as "What is a
computation?", "What is computable?", "What is efficiently computable?",
"What is information?", "What is random?", "What is an algorithm?", etc. We
will present many of the major themes and theorems with the basic language
of category theory. Surprisingly, many interesting theorems and concepts of
theoretical computer science are easy consequences of functoriality and
composition when you look at the right categories and functors connecting
them.
I would be grateful for any comments or criticisms.
Sincerely yours,
Noson (Yanofsky)
