In writing about this challenging subject, the author has brought to bear all of the experience he has gained in authoring over 30 books in university-level mathematics..The goal of this book is to present the five major ideas of category theory: categories, functors, natural transformations, universality, and adjoints in as friendly and relaxed a manner as possible while at the same time not sacrificing rigor. These topics are developed in a straightforward, step-by-step manner and are accompanied by numerous examples and exercises, most of which are drawn from abstract algebra. .The first chapter of the book introduces the definitions of category and functor and discusses diagrams,.duality, initial and terminal objects, special types of morphisms, and some special types of categories,.particularly comma categories and hom-set categories. Chapter 2 is devoted to functors and natural.transformations, concluding with Yoneda‘s lemma. Chapter 3 presents the concept of universality and Chapter 4 continues this discus | Pindex | Textbook 2017 |
