I am finishing the last year of my MS in Applied Math at DePaul w/ Prob Stats. Concurrently I am auditing a course on Modular Forms at UIC. Additionally I am meeting with an Honors Math grad from UChicago to learn commutative algebra, algebraic geometry & algebraic number theory.
Just picked up these books from storage !!!
Bottom four books were textbooks for my Group Theory, Real Analysis, Complex Analysis and Topology classes.
Just arrived! A professor at UIC in formal methods and verification wants to work with me for PhD in CS! As my friend

said “If it were me, I would go the CS route because my experience of CS so far is that it is less dysfunctional than philosophy as a discipline”
Reza Negarestani's "Intelligence and Spirit" delves into various philosophical and theoretical concepts, including type theory and ludics. Here's a summary of his use of these concepts:
Type Theory:
1. Context of Mathematical Structures: Negarestani touches upon the generality
I strongly recommend that everyone hop on over to Springer now for a massive sale that ends tomorrow 5/31.
I just ordered the below directly from Springer !!!
Dr. Rocco Gangle agreed to be my advisor for doctoral studies! I am planning on finishing my MS in Applied Math at DePaul. I plan to apply to GCAS Dublin to work with him! My dissertation would focus on Structuralist View of Science Theories from a categorical logic perspective.
A Very Short Introduction to Topos Theory (adapted from Prof. Pettigrew’s notes)
by Eric Schmid
Abstract:
A quick introduction to category theory and topos theory, axiomatically. These notes are adapted from Prof. Pettigrew’s notes.

PLEASE REPOST !
Books arrived! Does anyone know any professors in math or CS who would be interested in taking on a PhD student? I’m an MS student in CS at UChicago. (I have the equivalent of a math undergrad from post-baccalaureate studies.)
My girlfriend
@melaniekleinbot
ordered these 2 books for me since my credit card declined. I have the pay her back. Best girlfriend in the world !!!! Thank you to the love of my life !!!!
Finally understand that (dependent) function-types, i.e. pi-types, are equivalent to intuitionistic universal quantifiers of predicates and also equivalent to the space of sections. Dependent pair-types, Σ-types are equivalent to existential quantification in IL and total spaces
Books that I bought arrived! Does anyone know any professors who would consider being a PhD advisor? I’m currently an MS student in CS at UChicago but I also have a pure math background (ie alg top, point-set, real analysis, group theory, complex, advanced linear algebra, proofs)
Accompanying lectures for my independent studies this summer:
1) Category Theory by Awodey:
2) Homotopy Type Theory by Bob Harper:
3) Mathematical Logic (UCLA):
4) Homotopy Theory:
I have made the final decision of studying Applied Mathematics at DePaul University. It’s an MS program. I couldn’t ignore the fact that I have a deep passion for mathematics.
I wrote a textbook:
"Notes on Lecture Notes: Logic, Category Theory, Topos Theory, Martin-Löf Type Theory, Homotopy Theory"
Available on Amazon very soon.
Here is a PDF:

Just ordered these books !!! Got super inspired by talking to
@DesheShai
today about pure mathematics at a rooftop bar !!! I’m currently taking category theory, homotopy theory, mathematical logic and dependent type theory. It has been a debate with myself (for some time) about
"In a 1940 article on modular fields, Saunders Mac Lane quotes Stephen Kleene's remark that a knowledge of (a + b)^2 = a^2 + b^2 in a field of characteristic 2 would corrupt freshman students of algebra."
Reza Negarestani's "Intelligence and Spirit" stands as a monumental exploration into the intersections of philosophy, mathematics, logic, and computer science. The work is a dense tapestry that intricately weaves together various disciplines to present a comprehensive
My book "Prospectus to a Homotopic Metatheory of Language" will be released within 72 hours on Amazon.
The book is 24 pages long.
Thanks to Reza, Zalamea, Colin McLarty and
@the_new_centre
for all of their invaluable comments.
Just arrived !!! I bought these ex-library copies on Abebooks.
Wolfgang Stegmüller was a German-Austrian philosopher who made important contributions in philosophy of science and analytic philosophy. A professor at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich in analytic philosophy.
I wrote an e-print on Grothendieck and schemes and étale and motivic cohomology. Take a look! Aspiring mathematician here! I’m an MS student. Let me know if you spot any errors/have corrections!

@coecke
one day after I finish my Masters.
I’m really hoping two enroll in two reading courses this summer: one on applied category theory and the other on dependent type theory/Homotopy type theory.
Metaphysicians are musicians without musical ability. Instead they have a strong inclination to work within the medium of the theoretical, to connect concepts and thoughts.
Just ordered this three volume book set. My girlfriend paid for half as a present for me quitting cigarettes. Found out about Uwe Petersen’s work because of Reza.
