This article gives some very general background to the mathematical idea of topos. This is an aspect of category theory, and has a reputation for being abstruse. The level of abstraction involved cannot be reduced beyond a certain point; but on the other hand context can be given. This is partly in terms of historical development, but also to some extent an explanation of differing attitudes to category theory. (Wikipedia).
André JOYAL - 3/4 A crash course in topos theory : the big picture
I will sketch an overall picture of topos theory and of the theory of locales. It includes the notion of sheaf on a site, the notion of forcing topology, of geometric morphism and Giraud's theorem. A useful principle is that a topos is a commutative ring-like object. Every topos is a quoti

Lecture 12: Classifying topoi (Part 1)
This is the first of several talks on the subject of classifying topoi. I began with a brief reminder of the overall picture from the first talk, i.e. what are classifying topoi and why do we care (from the point of view of organising mathematics). Then I spent some time talking about tens

André JOYAL - 1/4 A crash course in topos theory : the big picture
About half of the topos theory of SGA4 is devoted to categorical generalities. They are now subsumed by the modern theory of (locally) presentable categories. I will sketch this theory, stressing the results that are important for topos theory. The category of complete lattices and sup-pre

A topos is a Cartesian closed category with all finite limits and a subobject classifier. In his two seminar talks (of which this is the second) James Clift will explain all of these terms in detail. In his first talk he defined products, pullbacks, general limits, and exponentials and in

André JOYAL - New variations on the notion of topos
The notion topos is a prominent member of a family of notions which includes that of abelian category, of locally presentable category and of higher topos. We propose two new members: the notion of locus and that of para-topos. The category of pointed spaces and the category of spectra are

David Michael ROBERTS - Class forcing and topos theory
It is well-known that forcing over a model of material set theory co rresponds to taking sheaves over a small site (a poset, a complete Boolean algebra, and so on). One phenomenon that occurs is that given a small site, all new subsets created are smaller than a fixed bound depending on th
