Lukas 2011-12-26T12:01:00Z 2011-12-27T02:44:16Z <p>I am a training Algebraic Geometer, and am currently trying to prepare a course on category theory. I would be really thankful if people could tell me about "real-math" applications of theorems about monads which they came across during their career.</p> http://mathoverflow.net/questions/84309/why-are-monads-useful Comment by Lukas Lukas 2011-12-26T13:28:59Z 2011-12-26T13:28:59Z I would be interested if there is a real-world theorem where knowing that something is a monad facilitates finding the morally correct proof.
