Of Groups and Monads

Garlandus (2018)

A good tutorial that first introduces group theory and algebraic structures before delving into the details on monads. This way, a somewhat natural progression can be seen on how the ideas got motivated and emerged into Category Theory. The part about duals and natural transformations are well written.
