Abstract: | What has category theory to offer to Banach spacers? In this survey-like paper we will focus on some of the five basic elements of category theory –namely, i) The definition of category, functor and natural transformation; ii) Limits and colimits; iii) Adjoint functors; plus a naive presentation of Kan extensions– to support the simplest answer “tools that work and a point of view that helps to understand problems, even if one does not care at all about categories”. Homology will be treated in a second part. |
