This lecture introduces the concept of natural transformations in category theory through concrete examples. The instructor explains how natural transformations preserve the underlying structure of objects and functors, illustrating with examples from group theory. The lecture covers the definition of natural transformations, the importance of naturalness, and the criteria for a transformation to be considered natural. The instructor also discusses the application of natural transformations in defining equivalence of categories.
