This is a timeline of category theory and related mathematics. Its scope ('related mathematics') is taken as:
- Categories of abstract algebraic structures including representation theory and universal algebra;
- Homological algebra;
- Homotopical algebra;
- Topology using categories, including algebraic topology, categorical topology, quantum topology, low dimensional topology;
- Categorical logic and set theory in the categorical context such as algebraic set theory;
- Foundations of mathematics building on categories, for instance topos theory;
- Abstract geometry, including algebraic geometry, categorical noncommutative geometry, etc.
- Quantization related to category theory, in particular categorical quantization;
- Categorical physics relevant for mathematics.
In this article and in category theory in general ∞ = ω.

Famous quotes containing the words category, theory, related and/or mathematics:
“Despair is typical of those who do not understand the causes of evil, see no way out, and are incapable of struggle. The modern industrial proletariat does not belong to the category of such classes.”
—Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870–1924)
“In the theory of gender I began from zero. There is no masculine power or privilege I did not covet. But slowly, step by step, decade by decade, I was forced to acknowledge that even a woman of abnormal will cannot escape her hormonal identity.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“Becoming responsible adults is no longer a matter of whether children hang up their pajamas or put dirty towels in the hamper, but whether they care about themselves and others—and whether they see everyday chores as related to how we treat this planet.”
—Eda Le Shan (20th century)
“Why does man freeze to death trying to reach the North Pole? Why does man drive himself to suffer the steam and heat of the Amazon? Why does he stagger his mind with the mathematics of the sky? Once the question mark has arisen in the human brain the answer must be found, if it takes a hundred years. A thousand years.”
—Walter Reisch (1903–1963)
