String diagrams are a powerful graphical language used to represent computational phenomena across diverse scientific fields, including computer science, physics and linguistics. String diagrams offer a simple, visual representation of complex scientific ideas, while also allowing rigorous mathematical treatment. Robin Piedeleu and Fabio Zanasi provide an accessible introduction to string diagrams from the perspective of computer science. <ASIN:1009625748> Rather than starting from categorical concepts, the authors draw on intuitions from formal language theory, treating string diagrams as a syntax with its own semantics.They survey the basic theory, outline fundamental principles, and highlight modern applications of string diagrams in different fields.
