 Tim | this is a really interesting question | 21:10:51 |
| Tim | that i have absolutely zero idea on how to approach | 21:10:59 |
| Tim | when you start looking at things like fgfgf you have two natural things you could do at the start | 21:11:41 |
| Tim | and whether or not they agree in the end looks like checking some sort of associativity | 21:11:55 |

| granular | i wanted to learn some category theory :( | 04:18:30 |

i wanted to learn some category theory :( What do you want to learn? From scratch or from the view of algebra? | 04:24:04 |
 chexxor | There are people in this channel. Some are really knowledgeable! Some, like me, are a bit slower. 😉 | 04:30:01 |

What do you want to learn? From scratch or from the view of algebra? well i know some basic alg! i dont know if its sufficient for cat theory though | 04:34:06 |

well i know some basic alg! i dont know if its sufficient for cat theory though If you know group theory or more about ring, then it is already enough to study category theory via categorical algebra. | 05:04:48 |
| granular | I know some group theory yes | 05:54:42 |
| granular removed their display name granular. | 06:17:13 |
| granular | 06:25:48 |
| granular set their display name to granular. | 06:27:29 |
| granular | any book recommendations? | 07:18:03 |
| Tim | Aluffi’s book (Algebra: Chapter 0) is very good | 08:11:19 |

Aluffi’s book (Algebra: Chapter 0) is very good I also start to learn category theory from this book.... | 09:12:22 |

 Joel Sjögren | given a space X, what do you call the objects X -> Y in the category whose initial object is the map X -> ||X||n from a space to its n-truncation? | 13:45:24 |
| 15 May 2020 |
| Tim | i’m not sure i understand the question... what’s the category? | 12:47:33 |
| Joel Sjögren | I don't know exactly. Certainly it is a subcategory of the cocomma category for X. | 13:09:41 |
| Joel Sjögren | I am thinking that f : X -> Y should send m-spheres to boundaries of m+1-balls for all m ≥ n. | 13:12:28 |
