Higher Categories for the Working Mathematician
A summer school of the RTG 2491
This school aims to provide an introduction to the world of higher categories and their applications, suitable for non-experts. There will be four lecture series focusing on the use of higher categories in various fields of research, ranging from homotopy theory to differential geometry and mathematical physics. It is organized as an activity of the Research Training Group Fourier Analysis and Spectral Theory (RTG 2491).
