SynopsisDerived from courses the author taught at Harvard and Johns Hopkins, this original book introduces the concepts of category theory categories, functors, natural transformations, the Yoneda lemma, limits and colimits, adjunctive, monads and other topics, revisiting a broad range of mathematical examples from the categorical perspective. Basic set theory and logic are the only prerequisites., "The book is extremely pleasant to read, with masterfully crafted exercises and examples that create a beautiful and unique thread of presentation leading the reader safely into the wonderfully rich, expressive, and powerful theory of categories." -- The Math Association Category theory has provided the foundations for many of the twentieth century's greatest advances in pure mathematics. This concise, original text for a one-semester course on the subject is derived from courses that author Emily Riehl taught at Harvard and Johns Hopkins Universities. The treatment introduces the essential concepts of category theory: categories, functors, natural transformations, the Yoneda lemma, limits and colimits, adjunctions, monads, and other topics. Suitable for advanced undergraduates and graduate students in mathematics, the text provides tools for understanding and attacking difficult problems in algebra, number theory, algebraic geometry, and algebraic topology. Drawing upon a broad range of mathematical examples from the categorical perspective, the author illustrates how the concepts and constructions of category theory arise from and illuminate more basic mathematical ideas. Prerequisites are limited to familiarity with some basic set theory and logic., Introduction to concepts of category theory -- categories, functors, natural transformations, the Yoneda lemma, limits and colimits, adjunctions, monads -- revisits a broad range of mathematical examples from the categorical perspective. 2016 edition.
