@@Eyesomorphic Graph Theory is the abstraction of relationships? **Put down glasses** I've studied to PhD all for this and yet I'm still a single dog. The graph, does not work!
@@Eyesomorphic Please make a course where you teach Type theory but do it by simultaneously teaching ALL the prerequisites and building blocks that we need to know from logic and proof theory. I would be so happy paying for a course if you can make it just as intuitive and visual as this video.
tbh i thought my real weapon was a combination of logical reasoning and math theorems.. i used a lot of statistics and logic to check how likely a statement is to be true or not given for example, if the person claims that 10 rare conditions were simultanously true, that's probably bullshit. but if it was a smaller set of conditions, or there is proof that some of them are true, the situation changes. or for example, using advanced counting and probabilities to win card games and impress ppl
@@jacobsjdin4057You can access it for free online if you'd prefer, but obviously buying the book and supporting his work is great too. It was a culmination of Bartosz's posts made on the website I listed in the description. He has a lecture series as well that follows the same content
Yes, I was introduced into Category by Bartosz's RUclips series many years ago, didn't understand all but later from other books/videos then came back to Bartosz whose videos the BEST.
This video is a pearl in the middle of the internet ocean. It's fascinating how you explain how some subjects of math are the abstraction of things we already use in Simple math. As a student of computer science i apreciate a lot this work
learning about lambda calculus is how the magic of abstraction "clicked" for me. Being able to define problems away is just mind-blowing to me still lol. "This function is a number now because I say it is" is just amazing
I have been a haskell programmer for quite a while, shared this video with some friends as I think it makes Category Theory really approachable! Well done!
That's really reassuring! Keep an eye out for the next installment in this series, I took a rather long hiatus but there's a new video in the works currently! Thanks again
Instantly subbed, this is one of the most “eye” opening videos on mathematics that I’ve seen so far, you took an “abstract” concept and broke it down in a very digestible way, one could say you used abstraction to minimize the number of elements it takes to convey the underlying structure of “the utility of abstraction within mathematics” lol. Thank you for the video!
instant subscribe! i got my b.s. in mathematics last year, but real life hasn’t given me much time to keep up with reviewing what i learned in undergrad. this video made me feel like i was in one of my theory classes again! ❤
I’ve watched like 5 introductions to category theory, but your analogy of what algebra is to numbers is what category theory is to composition was the priming I needed. Heck! I learnt algebra before. And I know how I learnt algebra. For me learning algebra involved doing a lot of examples and then creating algorithms for it once I got a good grasp of the subject. So yesterday I started with an exercise heavy book to category theory (spivaks category theory for the sciences) and it’s exactly what I need to understand it. He introduces ologs that are the first real objects I studied seriously that don’t fulfill composition. Thanks a ton on getting me started!
That's great to hear! It took me at least 10 different books and lecture series to fully get to grips with the principles of category theory, and I guess this video is the culmination of that, and the progression that felt most intuitive to me. Good luck on your quest!
When I was 14, my relationship with functions was "it just a name we give to an expression" like we give π to 3.141592..., or e give to 2.7182... When I turned 15, I started to learn programming and it completely change my mind about how functions work. Yes sure it still is a name we give for an expression but the way we can use any kind of input and any kind of output that make me surprised, then I did a little research and I found out that functions in math is also the same, they're freedom, you can do what ever you want; don't just stop at the Natural numbers or Real numbers, start making your own numbers like a set with even numbers, or a set with prime numbers, or a set with your family members and we can make a function on those sets too. That kind of freedom make me love math❤ The way you explain everything reminded me of that feeling, feeling of I can do what I want with math. I hope you can keep up the good work!! And welcome to youtube🎉
As a first-year Math Degree student, I can that almost all (if not all) Mathematics can be described by the art of Abstraction. For example, if you want to prove "The sum of even numbers is even" you could try to check one by one, but you'd just never end because there're infinity even numbers. Instead, you can consider work with only two objects "A" and "B", which are two representatives of all integers that verify the property of being even (formally, if we consider the universe "Ω" to be set of all intergers: "∃n(A=2n)" and "∃m(B=2m)"). In other words, we've just removed all particular characteristics of individual even integers to stay only with what characterizes an "even integer"; we've made abstraction. Where the magic lies is that if you manage to prove any property with "A" and "B" (such that "A+B" is even), you're proving it for any two even numbers (actually, "killing infinit many birds with one shot"). 🔥
I dont regret a single second of watching this video, you completly changed my perception of not only mathematics, but the whole reality. Thank you for this amazing content, you defenitely deserve a sub! 👏
Great video. A young kid could understand this, and it would likely turn them into mathematicians! The world needs more mathematicians, especially now. Bravo.
Wow, man, you're really really good at this, your approach to mathematics and your skill to teach in a simple way with many examples is amazing. Please, keep making videos, there's nothing like this on RUclips.
Welcome to RUclips, Eyesomorphic! Stunningly simple and accessible presentation that couls invite more people into this beautiful area of study. Hope you could go deeper into category theory and present useful results in a similarly accessible fashion. Looking forward to them!
Such an amazing video that explains category theory in a remarkable way. I have been looking for category theory videos but I never found any with this level of articulation and quality. Your hard work to put together explanations and graphics deserve great applause 👏
What a beautiful introduction to category theory. As an applied guy who knows nothing about this subject, I enjoyed it a lot ! You got yourself a new subscriber, looking forward to your future videos :)
Beautiful presentation of category theory. I enjoyed how Alice and Bob's speech colors were mapped to a (for Alice) and b (for Bob) respectively as a way of abstraction which then allowed me to understand the rest of the video, as though you created a rhetorical category to be an analogy to mathematical categories.
Apparently this is your very first video (on this channel). Obviously the algorithm knows what I like. The channel name is awesome. Isomorphism explains everything. Looking forward to the N+1 video.
Thank you for creating this! I've watched several intro to category theory videos and even started some books and courses, but this is by far the best explanation I've seen!
This video has really helped me on a personal level, I've been undergoing changes in my thinking pattern recently, influnced by formal logic, and abstraction was a huge part of it. I've being trying to articulate my process of thinking, but I think this video on abstraction really hits the nail on the head. Thank you.
Beautiful simple, clear explanation! Thank you for abstracting math education to its essence. I believe a ‘top down’ approach to math is as important as building a bottom up foundation - it helps to build motivation, and provides a framework to hang the whole of math. Would love to see your take on linear algebra, calculus, geometry, etc, and how they are different aspects of the same concepts.
I wish my lecturer just show us this video when I first started taking a class on category theory. I spent way too long trying to understand very abstract concepts without much of an idea as to why I should care - this video would have helped a lot!
I did my undergrad thesis on adjoint functors and my Master degree thesis on the homotopy theory of differential graded categories. Congratulations for the work and the views!
Hey, this video is seriously incredible. I remember you commented one of my videos a couple weeks ago and I knew recognised your name. Seriously this video is legions in quality above mine and genuinely congrats and good luck in the future!
Minus the background music that causes unnecessary additional mental busyness, top notch production 👌 (your proper diction/pronunciation paired with quality explanation are more than enough on their own)
Glad that it felt intuitive! I spent quite a bit of time thinking of the most natural way to describe sets and functions without using any unnecessary notation, so I'm happy my example 'clicked' for you! Thanks for the subscription :)
I first learned about this during the 2018 Ethereum Hackathon, I even remember Vitalik was there standing on eyesight two tables from ours, my partner in there was building a language based on categories and Petri nets, and so I was awed at how else one could describe mathematics.

Thank you for amazing video and especially for reference to a course by Bartosz Milewski! I tried to study Category Theory twice before, and gave up both times. Thanks to your video I found Bartosz' lectures (here on RUclips) on Category Theory, and they are much more accessible than materials I used before - so I'll give it another try. This video was very inspirational for me. Thank you!
unbelievable simple clear explanation of abstraction and category theory fundamentals. I really thank you for your effort, I would absolutely like to see more of these please. Thank you again
Outstanding! I just stumbled across this channel and have become a fan from watching this first vid. Great job and best wishes for a long string of successors!
Thank you for the great video! Explanations are very clear and easy to follow. I wasn’t lost for a second. Great job! This video is similar to my favourite book about the subject: Conceptual Mathematics by Lawvere and Schanuel. Despite great respect I have towards Bartosz Millewski’s work, I would recommend the book over his lectures.
That was a very nice video, and easy to understand. I would love to see some more on this subject in order to develop the various concepts of this theory.
Welcome, so glad to see a new and starting math channel :) I have to say, as an avid set theorist myself I absolutely love your presentation! Your discussion on the identity function was thorough. I'd love to see you do a video on set theory in detail or logical paradoxes (Russels and axiom of choice) or something on large cardinals (recursive functions and calls?) if you choose. Either way though, subscribed.
Of all the videos I have seen so far in the SoME3 video contest so far, this has been my favorite. I only have 1 small gripe with it, but its not that a big of a deal to anyone except me and maybe a few other people. My gripe is that the dark text and light background is a bit visually jarring to me. My eyes fatugue easily, so I had to take a few breaks during the video to rest my eyes. If possible could you release a dark mode version of this (black background white text or something similar)? Other than that great video. The explanatioms were well thought out and the concrete examples helped quite a bit.
probably the most gentle introduction I've ever seen to Category Theory! Please reduce the volume of the music : it's engaged in constant "combat" with your voice!
Really good video (and the perfect name for the channel), I hope you continue to post. That said, I would say that category theory is the abstraction of abstraction. Composition is what links an abstraction to another. Also, the functorial nature of the whole shebang should be a really good sequel.
Cool and thought-provoking. It would be nice with a follow-up that shows more concretely how abstraction and categories actually can help you solve problems or reach new insights!
Loved the “always has been” joke. Great video very well made ❤ I love the more philosophical approach to mathematical concepts. Can’t wait to see whatever you decide to do next
What a beautiful video. When something is presented simply enough, it’s truth is revealed in all forms. Your section on rationals and reals got me thinking of kolgomorov complexity in a whole new light. Your section on composing functions got me thinking of computable functions and how one can apply category theory to complexity theory. I imagine that was unintended, but welcome for sure. Cheers to you, this is inspiring work. You’ve won a new subscriber. I hope to see more of your videos in the future.
Really beautiful i loved it! Thanks a lot, can't wait to learn more! Would love to hear more about category theory if you want to consider it (but i see you provided an awesome list to learn more!). I wish you the best going forward ❤

You caught my attention by just one video and you also made me impressed of this. I've never seen this topic before. I'll might use this in my journey in mathematics as a second year highschool student. Hope you can make more videos like this.

THANK YOU SO MUCH this is the kind of guidance I was looking for
I really like the visuals! The explanation was succinct as well! Please do continue!
My god this was so eye opening and extremely thought out of. thank you for the effort brother.
Great vid! I can feel something clicked inside my head
Yes, yes, yes! If you ever plan on doing set theory, group theory, algebraic topology or more category theory, I'm all yours!!!
abstraction is a relevant concept in Algebra as well as in mathemathics. Amusement
I hope to see more videos from you, I really loved the aesthetics and style of your video. This was great.
My god. That's your very first video? It's amazing! I really would love to see many more content from you. If you want some ideas, you could make some videos on topology in a not far future, I'd love to see it that way!
The three first seconds of the video already made me subscribe. That intro has style, mate.
