	PlanetMath: dual category
		More generally, an inverse limit is a direct limit on the opposite category; for this reason, it is sometimes called a colimit.
		A cokernel is a kernel in the opposite category.
		This is version 5 of dual category, born on 2002-02-25, modified 2004-03-29.

	Category Theory (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Category theory is both an interesting object of philosophical study, and a potentially powerful formal tool for philosophical investigations of concepts such as space, system, and even truth.
		Category theory is, in this sense, the legitimate heir of the Dedekind-Hilbert-Noether-Bourbaki tradition, with its emphasis on the axiomatic method and algebraic structures.
		From the foregoing disussion, it should be obvious that category theory and categorical logic ought to have an impact on almost all issues arising in philosophy of logic: from the nature of identity criteria to the question of alternative logics, category theory always sheds a new light on these topics.

		Categorical logic is now a well-defined field based on type theory for intuitionistic logics, with application to the theory of functional programming and domain theory, all in a setting of a cartesian closed category as non-syntactic description of a lambda calculus.
		Duality: Every statement, theorem, or definition in category theory has a dual which is essentially obtained by "reversing all the arrows".

		Early category theorists argued that the correct category-theoretic generalization of injective (one-to-one) was the definition of monomorphism given above, and simply gave the word this new, somewhat different, meaning; this made the term ambiguous.
		However, whereas the difference is more notable in the case of epimorphisms, in "most" naturally occurring categories of algebras the categorical and algebraic meaning coincide because in any concrete category with a free object on a one element set the categorical monomorphisms are all one-to-one.

	Como Category Theory News
		Part of the perception that category theory is "foundations" (in the pejorative sense of being remote from applications and development) is due to a preoccupation with huge size.
		For any two categories that are objects of the metacategory, the category of functors from one to the other exists in the sense that it also is an object in the metacategory (it is unique by exponential adjointness).
		The category S is itself cartesian closed, and the categories of structures of geometry and analysis are enriched in it.

	Science Fair Projects - Coproduct
		It follows that if coproducts exists in a given category (they need not) they are unique up to a unique isomorphism that respect the injections.
		On the other hand, in the category of abelian groups (and equally for vector spaces), the coproduct, called the direct sum, consists of the elements of the direct product which have only finitely many nonzero terms (this therefore coincides exactly with the direct product, in the case of finitely many factors—so much for "dramatically different").
		In the category of pointed spaces, fundamental in homotopy theory, the coproduct is the wedge sum (which amounts to joining a collection of spaces with base points at a common base point).

	Luboš Motl's reference frame: Category theory and physics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		String theory is first of all a physical theory, and it should be studied because of physical motivations - the primary physical motivation is to locate the right ideas and equations that describe the real world.
		Category theory has been used by many to achieve completely wrong physical conclusions - for example, by considering the "pompously foolish" quantization functor, many people have claimed that everything that happens in a classical theory has a counterpart in the "corresponding" quantum theory.
		Category theory often resembles linguistics (or even postmodern literary criticism): it is a science about arrows between different objects and about creating new objects from these arrows, but it does not really care too much whether the objects exist and what are their real properties.

		DCT proposes that information is much easier to retain and retrieve when dual-coded because of the availability of two mental representations instead of one (Paivio, 1991).
		DCT claims that pictures are faster and easier to recall since they are coded in both memory systems and the visual system is continuous and parallel in its organization.

	Pullback (category theory) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		In the category of sets the pullback of f and g is the set

	Literary Theory [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		It is literary theory that formulates the relationship between author and work; literary theory develops the significance of race, class, and gender for literary study, both from the standpoint of the biography of the author and an analysis of their thematic presence within texts.
		Literary theory and the formal practice of literary interpretation runs a parallel but less well known course with the history of philosophy and is evident in the historical record at least as far back as Plato.
		The current state of theory is such that there are many overlapping areas of influence, and older schools of theory, though no longer enjoying their previous eminence, continue to exert an influence on the whole.

	Category Theory
		Categories are algebraic structures with many different complementary nature, e.g., geometric, logical, computational, combinatorial, just as groups are many-faceted algebraic structures.
		Another crucial aspect of category theory is that it allows to see how different kind of structures are related to one another.
		In the very spirit of category theory, what should matter here are the morphisms between categories.

	Limit (category theory) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		In category theory, the limit of a functor generalizes the notions of inverse limit and product used in various parts of mathematics.
		If J is a small category and every functor from J to C has a limit, then the limit operation forms a functor from the functor category (see category theory) C
		In the category Ab of abelian groups, this for example shows that the kernel of a product of homomorphisms is naturally identified with the product of the kernels.

		There is an interesting analogy between the dual of a vector space and the inverse of a number which I would like to explain now.
		Well, the whole point of the dual vector space y is that a vector in y is a linear functional from x to 1.
		So we see that dual vector spaces are a bit like inverse numbers, except that we don't have yx = 1 and 1 = xy, and we don't even have that yx is isomorphic to 1 and 1 is isomorphic to xy.

		The dual concept to a subobject is a quotient object; that is, to define quotient object replace monic by epic above and reverse arrows.
		In the category Sets, a subobject of A corresponds to a subset B of A, or rather the collection of all maps from sets equipotent to B with image exactly B. The subobject partial order of a set in Sets is just its subset lattice.
		Given a partially ordered class P, we can form a category with P's elements as objects and a single arrow going from one object (element) to another if the first is less than or equal to the second.
