An invitation to general algebra and universal constructions

Rich in examples and intuitive discussions, this book presents General Algebra using the unifying view of categories and functors. Beginning with a study, in non-category-theoretic terms, of many familiar and not-so-familiar constructs in algebra (plus two from topology for perspective), the reader...

520 |a Rich in examples and intuitive discussions, this book presents General Algebra using the unifying view of categories and functors. Beginning with a study, in non-category-theoretic terms, of many familiar and not-so-familiar constructs in algebra (plus two from topology for perspective), the reader is guided toward understanding and appreciating the general concepts and tools that unify these constructs. . Topics include: set theory, lattices, category theory, formulation of universal constructions in terms of category theory, varieties of algebras and adjunctions. A large number of exercises, from the routine to the challenging, interspersed throughout the text, develop the reader's understanding of the material, exhibit applications of general theory to various areas of algebra, and, in some cases, point out open questions. outstanding. Graduate students and researchers who wish to become fluent in important mathematical constructs will appreciate this carefully motivated book.
