| An Introduction to String Diagrams for Computer Scientists (Cambridge U P) |
| Monday, 16 June 2025 | |||
String diagrams are a powerful graphical language used to represent computational phenomena across diverse scientific fields, including computer science, physics and linguistics. String diagrams offer a simple, visual representation of complex scientific ideas, while also allowing rigorous mathematical treatment. Robin Piedeleu and Fabio Zanasi provide an accessible introduction to string diagrams from the perspective of computer science. Rather than starting from categorical concepts, the authors draw on intuitions from formal language theory, treating string diagrams as a syntax with its own semantics.They survey the basic theory, outline fundamental principles, and highlight modern applications of string diagrams in different fields. Author: Robin Piedeleu and Fabio Zanasi
