The reason for this is not that category theory is a better way of doing mathematics, but that monoidal categories constitute the actual algebra of practicing physics. We will not provide rigorous definitions or anything resembling a coherent mathematical theory, but we will take the reader for a journey introducing concepts which are part of category theory in a manner that the physicist will recognize them.30 pages and 19 picturesQuantum PhysicsMathematical PhysicsCategory TheoryLogicIntroducing categories to the practicing physicisttext
