A Handbook of Categorical Algebra is designed to give, in three
volumes, a detailed account of what should be known by everybody
working in, or using, category theory. As such it will be a unique
reference. The volumes are written in sequence, with the first
being essentially self-contained, and are accessible to graduate
students with a good background in mathematics. Volume 1, which is
devoted to general concepts, can be used for advanced undergraduate
courses on category theory. After introducing the terminology and
proving the fundamental results concerning limits, adjoint functors
and Kan extensions, the categories of fractions are studied in
detail; special consideration is paid to the case of localizations.
The remainder of the first volume studies various 'refinements' of
the fundamental concepts of category and functor.
