A primer/refresher on the category theory concepts that most commonly crop up in conversations about Scala or FP. (Because it's embarassing when I forget this stuff!)
I'll be assuming Scalaz imports in code samples, and some of the code may be pseudo-Scala.
A functor is something that supports map.

A function is a mapping from one set, called a domain, to another set, called the codomain. A function associates every element in the domain with exactly one element in the codomain. In Scala, both domain and codomain are types.
val square : Int => Int = x => x * x
