520    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.
