i would appreciate if you have some book recommendations from these subjects too

tysm, Ill research on internet for these books and their respective pdf's

Not royal road but atleast a straight path?

@XanderHenderson Uhhh... there should be some pre requisites that you mentioned right?

but I do have enthusiasm if that counts

@XanderHenderson the reason being is of course I simply lack a path, and the resources for this

so I started with Peter Smith Introducing Category Theory which was a blunder when I even didnt knew what is a Group or a Ring

which books to read in what order

I want to start with pdf books with a defined set of path

@XanderHenderson idk if I have resources though for this

I was instantly able to get where I was wrong when you helped me

@XanderHenderson I get it, I genuinely do, its ofcourse like getting into a castle on clouds with no grounds

@XanderHenderson tysmmm for your guidance, I would have been wandering off

thats when I thought to do stuff independently and differently

sometimes we are even told to just rote these answers, they are coming from the book

we have to just rote in formulas, no formula sheets and

@XanderHenderson developing country and then again, the education standards there are real real low

grade 11

@XanderHenderson Ighttt, I am getting this,

This ofc varies a lot but in our country education is kinda bad, currently I am in Class 11 and our math system is roting pre calculus trig and other stuff

but from where do I take my "baby steps"?

@XanderHenderson I think I get it, I am not ofc ready for it yet

I do not have a path like I get it, everything is scattered

They have stuff but again its too scattered

Ah, but see isnt there a pathway?

Hmmmm... MIT?

thats why somehow I am inspired to pursue category theory on my own

(in our country college is a university and our education system is kinda bad)

@XanderHenderson Not sure if universities in my local area have such a thing

I want to get into category theory but independently, i will have no teacher support

@XanderHenderson Aye thank you! Could you lay down a specific path?\

But I dont have any formal education here since I am in Class 11 too :(

Idk what is isomorphic.

and I somehow can see I am not ready

@XanderHenderson Im, Ill take your suggestion serious

Introducing Category Theory

The book I am using in fact did said

Ill literally give in everything I can to master this one field even from base

As in pathway with books

I am sorry for my confusion, but any pathway you could please recommend for category theory?

@XanderHenderson :(((

@XanderHenderson Nope

where a straight line turns into 3d cylinder?

@XanderHenderson Uhhh... I feel embarrassed but yea? Dont we use pi \int f(x)^2 dx

produce a hollow cylinder?

flipped at 360 degrees

In integration a straight line

in terms of integration, yep I do

but I am really really inspired to do category theory alongside as a side passion

I get it, I am jumping from pre calculus to category theory which is dumbly insane
