Its = unifying power brings together different branches, and leads to a deeper = understanding of their roots. This book is addressed to students and researchers of these fields and = can be used as a text for a first course in Category Theory. It covers = its basic tools, like universal properties, limits, adjoint functors and = monads. These are presented in a concrete way, starting from examples = and exercises taken from elementary Algebra, Lattice Theory and = Topology, then developing the theory together with new exercises and = applications. Applications of Category Theory form a vast and differentiated domain. = This book wants to present the basic applications and a choice of more = advanced ones, based on the interests of the author. References are = given for applications in many other fields." Regards, M. Grandis= [For admin and other information see: http://www.mta.ca/~cat-dist/ ]
