Why Sets for Mathematics? This book is for students who are beginning the study of advanced mathematical subjects such as algebra, geometry, analysis, or combinatorics. F. William Lawvere and Robert Rosebrugh xiii. A useful foundation for these subjects will be achieved by openly bringing out and studying what they have in common. A significant part of what is common to all these subjects was made explicit 100 years ago by Richard Dedekind and Georg Cantor, and another significant part 50 years ago by Samuel Eilenberg and Saunders Mac Lane.

For the first time, this book uses categorical algebra to build such a foundation, starting from intuitive descriptions of mathematically and physically common phenomena and advancing to a precise specification of the nature of Categories of Sets

For the first time, this book uses categorical algebra to build such a foundation, starting from intuitive descriptions of mathematically and physically common phenomena and advancing to a precise specification of the nature of Categories of Sets. Set theory as the algebra of mappings is introduced and developed as a unifying basis for advanced mathematical subjects such as algebra, geometry, analysis, and combinatorics. The formal study evolves from general axioms that express universal properties of sums, products, mapping sets, and natural number recursion.

William Lawvere, Robert Rosebrugh. Cambridge University Press, 2. 1. For the first time, this book uses categorical algebra to build such a foundation, starting from intuitive descriptions of mathematically and physically common phenomena and advancing to a precise specification of the nature of Categories of Sets. William Lawvere Robert Rosebrugh. Published January 2003 by Cambridge University Press. Although more advanced than the book Conceptual Mathematics by Lawvere and Schanuel (which is aimed at total beginners) this text develops from scratch the theory of the category of abstract sets and certain other toposes with examples from elementary algebra, differential equations, and automata theory.

The book by Lawvere and Rosebrugh made me realise that the exercises I find exciting can be phrased in terms of properties of maps acting on sets, and - yes, indeed - the boring ones can't. Doesn't it strike you that as a consequence axiomatic set theory is not boring? :) Some of the discoveries I made during reading are just invaluable. William Lawvere, Robert Rosebrugh.

Francis William Lawvere (/lɔːˈvɪər/; born February 9, 1937) is a mathematician known for his work in category theory, topos theory and the philosophy of mathematics. Lawvere studied continuum mechanics as an undergraduate with Clifford Truesdell. He learned of category theory while teaching a course on functional analysis for Truesdell, specifically from a problem in John L. Kelley's textbook General Topology
