Computation as Semigroups, Computing Semigroups

Explore the intersection of mathematics and software engineering in this 26-minute conference talk from YOW! 2018. Dive into the concept of semigroups and their application in computation as presented by Attila Egri-Nagy, a software engineer with a background in mathematics. Learn how abstract algebraic structures can be used to model and understand computational processes. Gain insights into functional programming techniques and their relationship to mathematical concepts. Discover how semigroups can be both a tool for computation and an object of study in themselves. Enhance your understanding of the theoretical foundations underlying software development and expand your perspective on the connections between mathematics and computer science.
