Categories for the Working Mathematician
Author: Saunders Mac Lane
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1475747217
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
An array of general ideas useful in a wide variety of fields. Starting from the foundations, this book illuminates the concepts of category, functor, natural transformation, and duality. It then turns to adjoint functors, which provide a description of universal constructions, an analysis of the representations of functors by sets of morphisms, and a means of manipulating direct and inverse limits. These categorical concepts are extensively illustrated in the remaining chapters, which include many applications of the basic existence theorem for adjoint functors. The categories of algebraic systems are constructed from certain adjoint-like data and characterised by Beck's theorem. After considering a variety of applications, the book continues with the construction and exploitation of Kan extensions. This second edition includes a number of revisions and additions, including new chapters on topics of active interest: symmetric monoidal categories and braided monoidal categories, and the coherence theorems for them, as well as 2-categories and the higher dimensional categories which have recently come into prominence.

Discovering Modern Set Theory. I: The Basics
Author: Winfried Just
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 0821802666
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 230
Book Description
This book bridges the gap between the many elementary introductions to set theory that are available today and the more advanced, specialized monographs. The authors have taken great care to motivate concepts as they are introduced. The large number of exercises included make this book especially suitable for self-study. Students are guided towards their own discoveries in a lighthearted, yet rigorous manner.

Problems and Theorems in Classical Set Theory
Author: Peter Komjath
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 0387362193
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 492
Book Description
This volume contains a variety of problems from classical set theory and represents the first comprehensive collection of such problems. Many of these problems are also related to other fields of mathematics, including algebra, combinatorics, topology and real analysis. Rather than using drill exercises, most problems are challenging and require work, wit, and inspiration. They vary in difficulty, and are organized in such a way that earlier problems help in the solution of later ones. For many of the problems, the authors also trace the history of the problems and then provide proper reference at the end of the solution.
