However, topology is one place to get good examples with which to build intuition for category theory, so it's possibly worth looking into from that perspective. There are lots of nice examples like the Seifert-van Kampen theorem, which can be eloquently summarised by saying that the fundamental groupoid functor preserves pushouts. _______________________________________________ Haskell mailing list Haskell@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell
