1.1.3 Prerequisites/Assumed Background
The Clowder Project assumes at least a background on basic category theory corresponding to e.g. [Riehl, Category Theory in Context], as well as some comfort in working with category-theoretic notions.
In particular, it should be viewed as a reference work/wiki, and not as a textbook. This, however, doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be pedagogical. Indeed, a number of stylistic choices are made aiming to make the material as easily digestible as possible.
For an outline of several introductory references for different topics in category theory, see Chapter 2: A Guide to the Literature .
