Notes on Category Theory with examples from basic mathematics
by Paolo Perrone
Publisher: arXiv 2021
Number of pages: 181
Description:
These notes were originally developed as lecture notes for a category theory course. They should be well-suited to anyone that wants to learn category theory from scratch and has a scientific mind. There is no need to know advanced mathematics, nor any of the disciplines where category theory is traditionally applied.

A Gentle Introduction to Category Theory: the calculational approachby Maarten M. Fokkinga - University of Twente
These notes present the important notions from category theory. The intention is to provide a fairly good skill in manipulating with those concepts formally. This text introduces category theory in the calculational style of the proofs.

Computational Category Theoryby D.E. Rydeheard, R.M. Burstall
The book is a bridge-building exercise between computer programming and category theory. Basic constructions of category theory are expressed as computer programs. It is a first attempt at connecting the abstract mathematics with concrete programs.
