"Abstract Nonsense in Algebraic Geometry"

We explain how the language of category theory can be used to clarify certain ideas in algebraic geometry, with a particular emphasis on the role of universal properties and the Yoneda Lemma. We will connect this to our discussion of fibre products from last time.
