Prelude

This is a blog that I will use to learn more about functional programming.  Specifically, I'm going to see how various category theoretic concepts are mapped into the Haskell programming language (and possibly others).

Mathematician friends who are not "in the loop" can follow along by first installing Haskell.  It will help to have some programming experience or possibly read a few of the basic tutorials.  One neat thing about this language is that you can open up the interpreter by typing ghci in your terminal and play around.

Computer science and programmers might profit from this blog as well.  Though my posts will assume some mathematical background, I will pause to make appropriate definitions from time to time.  However, the interested reader should at least know about categories and functors.
