| Mar 25, 2010 at 22:40 | comment | added | Vipul Naik | Justin, Without naming names, I know some mathematicians who are averse to category theory -- they aren't fond of observing that any of their beloved objects of study may be susceptible to interpretations in terms of categories. Some others are aware of category-theoretic interpretations but prefer to formulate things in a non-category-theoretic language. The aversion to using or noticing ideas from model theory and universal algebra is more universal (though, to be fair, these are not perhaps very useful). But I may be wrong; would be glad to hear other views. | |

| Mar 25, 2010 at 21:44 | comment | added | Justin Curry | "but I surmised the above by comparing highly accomplished professional mathematicians who probably went to graduate school thirty years ago against today's graduate students." -- How did you conclude that they were/are less comfortable with abstraction? I am curious about what you found in your detective work. Perhaps a few concrete examples without naming names? | |
