The Homotopy Type Theory book, an open-access textbook on informal homotopy type theory produced by the Univalent Foundations program at the Institute for Advanced Study. The repository contains the LaTeX source, licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0, with compiled versions distributed via the homotopytypetheory.org website.

Use cases

  • learn homotopy type theory from scratch
  • study univalent foundations of mathematics
  • reference the HoTT book when doing type-theoretic proofs
  • find a free textbook on higher inductive types and univalence
  • prepare a course on homotopy type theory
  • look up definitions like equivalence, universe, and univalence axiom

When to choose

  • you want the canonical informal introduction to homotopy type theory
  • you need a free, openly licensed reference on univalent foundations
  • you are a mathematician or computer scientist learning type theory with a homotopical perspective

When to avoid

  • you need a formalized, machine-checked development of HoTT in a proof assistant
  • you want a beginner introduction to plain type theory or programming with dependent types
  • you need software or a library rather than a textbook
