Universal Algebra
A functor is a mathematical mapping between categories that preserves the structure of those categories, specifically the relationships between objects and morphisms. It allows for the translation of concepts and operations from one category to another while maintaining the essential properties, making it a fundamental tool in category theory and universal algebra. Functors provide a bridge that helps in understanding how different algebraic structures relate to each other, particularly in the context of algebraization and categorical frameworks.
congrats on reading the definition of Functor. now let's actually learn it.
