There will be several homeworks. As a requirement to take the final exam students must submit
solutions to at least one homework. The final exam will be an oral exam. Last update: Šmíd Dalibor, Mgr., Ph.D. (28.10.2019)

The basic notions and facts of category theory are presented, namely
category and subcategory, covariant and contravariant functors, full
and faithful, hom-functors, natural transfomations and the functor
categories, Yoneda lemma; limits and colimits of diagrams, Maranda's
and Mitchel's theorems; adjoint functors, free functors, reflective
and coreflective subcategories, closed and Cartesian closed categories,
contravariant adjoints and dualities; comma-categories; Adjoint Functor
Theorem and Special Adjoint Functor Theorem; extremal and regular
monomorphisms (epimorphisms), factorization systems.
For all the above, many examples and some applications are given.
