Writing a long series of math blog posts around the interface of logic, type theory, and category theory. I may not be able to summon the willpower to get through every topic I want to cover, but if I do then the light at the end of the tunnel is homotopy type theory, and I may also attempt to learn Haskell as a side effect.
Good point. I know some nice Haskell tutorials and haven’t looked around to see if there are comparably nice Coq tutorials, but I guess it’s worth looking.
Tutorials/texts that I know of are Software Foundations, Andrej Bauer’s tutorial, and this Hott-Coq tutorial. It looks like installing the HoTT library is a huge pain in the arse though so I think I’ll stick with vanilla Coq until either I get one of my CS friend to install it for me, or they make a more user friendly install.
As someone who didn’t get past the second round of the SPARC applications this year, have you any recommendations of how I might be able to get a similar education at all?
Wow, awesome. This is particularly interesting to me because I’m in the process of designing a neo-liberal arts homeschool curriculum for my son (who is currently an infant). Thanks for the link.
Working on a new TDT writeup for MIRI.
Working on my classes for SPARC.

Why Haskell and not Coq or Agda? That’s where all the HoTT stuff is being done anyways.

Take this course in Singapore?

That’s brilliant, thanks.
