This work would not have been possible without the support of the Algebraic Julia team at the Topos Institute! A million thanks to each one of them!
The authors thank Evan for guiding setting up live code execution!
Thank you Sophie for your enthusiasm and patience in helping Priyaa learn the Algebraic Dynamics package. You made possible the fun examples of Chapter 2!
Thank you Kris for coding the solutions in Algebraic Julia for chapters 5 and 6, and for writing detailed helpful comments to follow the code!
Thank you Owen for discussions on stand-alone code execution!
Priyaa personally thanks David for drafting an initial schedule for the project and helping setting up the initial theme of the book! Priyaa also thanks Beth for sharing her wisdom on project management and scheduling!
Behind the scenes
This book is an experimental project, one of its kind in trying to use the modern features of technology to convey category theory concepts to a general science audience. The authors had to make a lot of design decisions to honor the limits of technology, to have the book open source, and above all to keep the content light, fun, and useful!
