Overview
Explore polynomial functors in this third lecture of a nine-part series delivered by David Spivak during the Poly at Work workshop at the Topos Institute. Delve into the composition of dynamical systems in Poly, examining various monoidal structures and their applications. Learn about monoids and comonoids, with specific focus on their behavior in (Poly, 0, +) environments. Master the concepts of tensor monoids through detailed explanations and examples. The lecture systematically progresses through these advanced mathematical concepts, providing a thorough understanding of polynomial functors and their practical applications in mathematical systems.
