What is Category Theory, and why is it called the math of the 21st century?
We’re fortunate to have the CEO and Co-Founder of Conexus, Eric Daimler, join us for this episode.
Eric carries a wide breadth of experience, from Professional Investing to Policy Advisor and Author. He taught at Carnegie Mellon and worked under the Obama Administration.
Eric emphatically speaks on the potent potential of Category Theory. When working with billions and even trillions of data points, this branch of math holds the key to faultless data.
Eric provides real-world applications where Conexus is using Category Theory, including ride-sharing apps such as Uber, investing applications, and diabetes datasets. When looking at big data, there's a necessity for zero mistake data. With thousands of ambiguities, this becomes impractical.
Category theory's relevance and applications are only taking off. Eric recommends his Co-Founder's book to learn more on the subject, which you can check out at the link below.
