Different branches of mathematics, e.g., algebra, topology or combinatorics, use different means to express their concepts and methods. It is thus surprising to see how much they actually have in common. The fundamentals of a great number of mathematical theories are built up on certain general principles. The study of these principles is the aim of the theory of mathematical structures and, more abstractly, the theory of categories.
Our book presents the theory of mathematical structures in a way comprehensible to a reader having but little experience with any concrete structure. We explain all the concepts used and exhibit a number of examples.
