The book gives a categorical introduction to some of the key areas of modern mathematics. Researchers, teachers and graduate students in algebra and topology familiar with the very basic notions of category theory will find all the advanced tools needed for their subjects, without being forced to study category theory for its own sake. Rather, each of the eight largely independent chapters takes the reader on a journey through a particular subject, showing the power and applicability of the categorical foundations in each case.Pedicchio, Maria is the author of 'Categorical Foundations Special Topics in Order, Topolgy, Algebra, and Sheaf Theory' with ISBN 9780521834148 and ISBN 0521834147.
