Victor Porton's Math Weblog

I suggest to add Category of Endomorphisms to program of math and computer science faculties of Universities. It should be added as a sub-course of Category theory university course.

This is especially important for Math Logic and Computer Science students, and also important for algebraists.

This free online text quite well suits to be used as a studybook of the categories of endomorphisms. There are no problems/questionary book yet. Anyway this course being very abstract seems better to be examed with a more traditional exam (theoretical questions) than a problem solving test.

So I suggest to start to teach this at math and CS faculties as a facultative course immediately.

However my advise is to add the most important parts of this material to the obligatory program for students of abstract mathematics (especially math logics and abstract algebra) and theoretical computer science.
