Amazing! I am on the 3rd video right now.

Loving the series so far. I love his enthusiasm.

For homework, I am drawing out the sets and categories on paper. And explaining to myself the ideas explored in the lectures.

Thank you for sharing your experience!

This is specifically just for categories I haven't touched anything else, But what I did is I constructed my own category based off of perfect rhymes[0]. And for each property that he introduced I tried to assemble some rules so that it fit. I've got it proved for just the bare basics of a category (Reflexivity transitivity, Composition) And the binary operation is just a rhyming relation. Concept wise I'm kind of hung up on products and Co products. I think I understand them when they're in a category But I'm not really understanding it in the abstract sense.
