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


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

First page it covers: Definition:Composite Mapping.

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

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

Remainder of $\S 6$ glosses over theories that deserve entire books discussing them. I skip to $\S 7$ (naturality), p.147. --Lord_Farin (talk) 16:11, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

Missing Proofs

 * More proofs of examples in later chapters (e.g. $\S 3.2, \S3.3$)
 * $\S 5.1$ Subobject Class in Category of Sets
 * Proposition $5.21$ Category has Finite Limits iff Finite Products and Equalizers
 * Proposition $5.25$ Covariant Hom Functor is Continuous
 * Example $6.3$ Category of Finite Sets is Cartesian Closed
 * Example $6.4$ Category of Posets is Cartesian Closed
 * Proposition $6.7$ Exponentiation Functor is Functor

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
 * Example $3.21$ about rooted posets, can't be bothered to set up yet another category
 * Rest of $\S 3.4$ about presentations of algebras, which is hard to formalise.
 * Exercises of Chapter $3$.
 * The entirety of Chapter $4$, mainly sloppy examples that serve as motivation for later concepts.
 * Rest of $\S 5.3$, idem.
 * $5.22,5.23$ since preliminary notions are still missing
 * Beginning of $\S 5.6$, need preliminaries
 * Examples $6.5,6.6$, on categories of $\omega$-cocomplete posets and graphs
 * Rest of $\S 6$, from $\S 6.3$

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.
 * Put this as source for some stuff on products that is discussed in passing.
 * A category Category:Functors may be beneficial for site-structural purposes.
 * Categories to be created: Category:Representable Functors, Category:Hom Functors, Category:Cartesian Closed Categories
 * The part about Definition:Boolean Lattices needs to be covered again due to the recreation of this area.
