This is not just another algebra book. An entire website supports and extends this text. 400+ web exercises: unlimited, randomly-generated practice and worksheets. The book and website each stand alone as a learning environment; together, they're a dynamic duo. Visit http: //www.onemathematicalcat.org and go to Algebra I: then Geometry, Algebra II, Precalculus, and Calculus. While you're learning algebra, you'll also learn that numbers have lots of different names, and that math is the renaming tool. You'll learn that "x" is to math as "cat" is to English. The original "cat" book (One Mathematical Cat, Please! Ideas for anyone who wants to understand mathematics) is also available on Amazon. If you only need the math language ideas, get the original "cat" book. If you need Algebra too, get this book. The Algebra book has the original cat book embedded in it, so you don't need both! Reviewers and users write: " ... wonderfully written and crafted with a care you rarely see" " ... will do a great service to the mathematical educational world" " ... the need for this book is immense" " ... I found meat, potatoes, and pie on every page. It's all dessert." " ... never seen anything so supportive and affirming and reassuring and inspiring as the way you talk us through topics" "THIS IS GREAT!!!! ... this is helping me get heads above the competition. You rock!!!! OneMathematicalCat drives me wild." There are over 175 web exercises that go directly with this book at: http: //www.onemathematicalcat.org/algebra_book/online_problems/table_of_contents.htm All free. All agreeing perfectly with the text---same order of lessons, same notation, same writing style. Free randomly-generated exercises. Free unlimited worksheets/quizzes. Algebra Pinball. Never again will someone say they don't have enough practice. Bound, printed copies are great. You can highlight, write margin notes, and do exercises right in the book. So, the next time you see "x," think "One Mathematical Cat, Please!" and laugh! Enjoy!

An array of general ideas useful in a wide variety of fields. Starting from the foundations, this book illuminates the concepts of category, functor, natural transformation, and duality. It then turns to adjoint functors, which provide a description of universal constructions, an analysis of the representations of functors by sets of morphisms, and a means of manipulating direct and inverse limits. These categorical concepts are extensively illustrated in the remaining chapters, which include many applications of the basic existence theorem for adjoint functors. The categories of algebraic systems are constructed from certain adjoint-like data and characterised by Beck's theorem. After considering a variety of applications, the book continues with the construction and exploitation of Kan extensions. This second edition includes a number of revisions and additions, including new chapters on topics of active interest: symmetric monoidal categories and braided monoidal categories, and the coherence theorems for them, as well as 2-categories and the higher dimensional categories which have recently come into prominence.

Finally a self-contained, one volume, graduate-level algebra text that is readable by the average graduate student and flexible enough to accommodate a wide variety of instructors and course contents. The guiding principle throughout is that the material should be presented as general as possible, consistent with good pedagogy. Therefore it stresses clarity rather than brevity and contains an extraordinarily large number of illustrative exercises.

The aim of this book is to help students write mathematics better. Throughout it are large exercise sets well-integrated with the text and varying appropriately from easy to hard. Basic issues are treated, and attention is given to small issues like not placing a mathematical symbol directly after a punctuation mark. And it provides many examples of what students should think and what they should write and how these two are often not the same.
