Advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate students need a unified foundation for their study of geometry, analysis, and algebra. For the first time in a text, this book uses categorical algebra to build such a foundation, starting from intuitive descriptions of mathematically andphysically common phenomena and advancing to a precise specification of the nature of Categories of Sets. An Appendix provides an explicit introduction to necessary concepts from logic, and an extensive...
