 * : $\S 1.3$: Definition $1.1$


 * : $\S 1.3$: Definition $1.1$

First page it covers: Definition:Composite Mapping.

A very accessible though rigid introduction to category theory. Much gentler than 'Categories work'.

Errata are available at http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/awodey/CT2errata2010.pdf.

Missing Proofs

 * Theorem $1.6$ Cayley's Theorem (Category Theory)
 * $\S 1.6.4$ Slice Category of Poset Category
 * Example $1.8$ Category of Pointed Sets as Coslice Category
 * Example $2.11.3$ Trivial Group is Initial Object, Trivial Group is Terminal Object
 * Proposition $2.17$ Product (Category Theory) is Unique
 * From section $2.5$ the proofs of examples of products (starting with Group Direct Product is Product in Category of Groups)
 * More proofs of examples in later chapters (e.g. $\S 3.3$)

Skipped thus far (that is, what needs to be done still)

 * $\S 1.4.10$ Category of Proofs (context and reach too vague)
 * $\S 1.4.11$ Category of Programs (idem)
 * Some "forgetful functors" in $\S 1.6$
 * Rest of $\S 1.7$ due to lack of rigour in the graph theory compartment.
 * Further exercises from chapter $1$
 * Example $2.4$ which shows that the defs of monomorphism are compatible.
 * Rest of Example $2.11.4$ because of lacking background
 * Beginning of $\S 2.3$ concerning correspondence of ultrafilters and boolean homomorphisms
 * Example $2.5.5$, category of topological spaces not introduced yet
 * Example $2.5.6$, lengthy discussion of lambda calculus and type theory, about which I don't know anything
 * Def $2.19$ concerning categories with arbitrary products
 * Rest of $\S 2.7$, which is a preliminary, colloquial prelude to natural transformations (which are only introduced in chapter $7$)
 * Skipped the nontrivial exercises from $\S 2$ to avoid tedious preliminary work which will be easier to do after more is complete
 * Rest of $\S 3.3$, lack of formality due to equalizers/coequalizers not being introduced yet

Other things

 * Many duality stuff is implicit in Awodey, explicate it.
 * Put mathops on the $/$ of slice and coslice categories as this improves the aesthetics.
 * Incorporate various definitions of product into Definition:Product
 * A category Category:Functors may be beneficial for site-structural purposes.
