Category Theory for the Sciences
by David I. Spivak
Publisher: The MIT Press 2014
ISBN-13: 9780262320511
Number of pages: 496
Description:
This book shows that category theory can be useful outside of mathematics as a rigorous, flexible, and coherent modeling language throughout the sciences. Written in an engaging and straightforward style, and assuming little background in mathematics, the book is rigorous but accessible to non-mathematicians.

Category Theory for Scientists
by David I. Spivak - arXiv
We attempt to show that category theory can be applied throughout the sciences as a framework for modeling phenomena and communicating results. In order to target the scientific audience, this book is example-based rather than proof-based.

Category Theory Lecture Notes
by Michael Barr, Charles Wells
Categories originally arose in mathematics out of the need of a formalism to describe the passage from one type of mathematical structure to another. These notes form a short summary of some major topics in category theory.
