Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox scientist
David Isaac Spivak is an American mathematician and senior scientist at the Topos Institute.[1] He has worked on applications of category theory, in particular ologs and operadic compositionality of dynamical systems. He authored and coauthored the introductory texts on category theory and its applications, Category Theory for the Sciences and An Invitation to Applied Category Theory.
Early life and education
Spivak received his PhD in mathematics from UC Berkeley in 2007 under the supervision of Peter Teichner and Jacob Lurie.[2] His thesis was on derived manifolds,[3] Spivak worked as a postdoc at the University of Oregon and Massachusetts Institute of Technology.[4]
Work
Spivak and Robert Kent developed a human-readable categorical system of knowledge representation called ologs.[5] These were applied, in a series of collaborations with the materials scientist Markus Buehler, to different problems in that materials science.[6][7][8] Ologs have been also used by researchers at NIST.[9] The goal of ologs, and of Spivak's book, was to show that category theory can be made relatively easy and thus be understood by a wider audience. Piet Hut endorsed the book saying, "This is the first, and so far the only, book to make category theory accessible to non-mathematicians."[10]
Spivak has also studied dynamical systems and operads.[11][12][13]
Spivak and Brendan Fong wrote a book that summarizes the developments in applied category theory for a wide audience, and started a nonprofit applied category theory research institute called Topos Institute, located in Berkeley, California.[14]
Spivak is an editor of a diamond open access journal, Compositionality.[15]
