Abstract: We will introduce the definition of homology of a small category with functor coefficients and then compare two different homologies when we take the category of a simplical complex. We analyze the classical result that barycentric subdivision preserves homology and generalize it to the context of a small category with coefficients in a functor to R-modules.
