Introduction -- Part I From Categories to Double Categories -- A Review of Basic Category Theory -- Introducing Two-Dimensional Category Theory -- Double Categories -- Double Adjunctions -- Double Limits -- Part II Multiple Categories -- Weak and Lax Multiple Categories -- Multiple Adjunctions -- Monads and Algebras for Multiple Categories -- Appendix A -- Applications in Homological Algebra and Algebraic Topology -- Appendix B -- Symmetric Cubical Sets and Cubical Categories -- Appendix C -- Solutions and Hints -- References -- Index
Summary: This book can be used as a textbook for graduate and postgraduate studies, and as a basis for research. Notions are presented in a 'concrete' way, with examples and exercises; the latter are endowed with a solution or hints.
