Abstract Calculus: A Categorical Approach provides an abstract approach to calculus. It is intended for graduate students pursuing PhDs in pure mathematics but junior and senior researchers in basically any field of mathematics and theoretical physics will also be interested. Any calculus text for undergraduate students majoring in engineering, mathematics or physics deals with the classical concepts of limits, continuity, differentiability, optimization, integrability, summability, and approximation. This book covers the exact same topics, but from a categorical perspective, making the classification of topological modules as the main category involved.
Features
- Suitable for PhD candidates and researchers
-
- Requires prerequisites in set theory, general topology, and abstract algebra, but is otherwise self-contained
Dr. Francisco Javier García-Pacheco is a full professor and Director of the Departmental Section of Mathematics at the College of Engineering of the University of Cádiz, Spain.
Prof. Dr. Francisco Javier García-Pacheco graduated in Mathematics from the University of Cádiz (Spain, EU) in 2000. He later become an Adjunct Professor at the University of Cádiz and did his doctorate in Pure Mathematics, under the tutelage of Prof. Dr. Antonio Aizpuru, defending his dissertation on May 27, 2005.
One year before defending the thesis, in August 2004, he was awarded a Graduate Teaching Assistantship at Kent State University (Ohio, USA) to do a second doctorate in Nonlinear Analysis, under the tutelage of Prof. Dr. Richard Aron. He defended this second dissertation on January 19, 2007, obtaining the outstanding dissertation award. During the first two years of his stay at Kent State University, he was hired as a Graduate Teaching Assistant. His last year he was awarded with a Teaching Fellowship.
