Why is Homology so Powerful?

Jade Master

Published 2020-01-02Version 1

My short answer to this question is that homology is powerful because it computes invariants of higher categories. In this article we show how this true by taking a leisurely tour of the connection between category theory and homological algebra. This article assumes familiarity with the basics of category theory and the basics of algebraic topology.
