Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 512.62 23 L531
Contents:
1. Categories, functors and natural transformations -- 2. Adjoints -- 3. Interlude on sets -- 4. Representables -- 5. Limits -- 6. Adjoints, representables and limits -- Appendix: Proof of the general adjoint functor theorem-- Further reading-- Index of notation-- Index.
Summary: At the heart of this short introduction to category theory is the idea of a universal property, important throughout mathematics. After an introductory chapter giving the basic definitions, separate chapters explain three ways of expressing universal properties: via adjoint functors, representable functors, and limits. A final chapter ties all three together.
