Product Review
"Not only is this the most comprehensive book ever written on category theory, it is by far the best writtenWhat the author has understood is that one cannot understand this subject without lots of examples" Gian-Carlo Rota, The Bulletin of Mathematics Books
"these volumes will be of enormous value to graduate students in pure or applied category theory." Martin Hyland, Mathematical Reviews
Product Description
A Handbook of Categorical Algebra, in three volumes, is a detailed account of everything a mathematician needs to know about category theory. Each volume is self-contained and is accessible to graduate students with a good background in mathematics. Volume 1 is devoted to general concepts. After introducing the terminology and proving the fundamental results concerning limits, adjoint functors and Kan extensions, the categories of fractions are studied in detail; special consideration is paid to the case of localizations. The remainder of the first volume studies various "refinements" of the fundamental concepts of category and functor.
