Covering a period up to 1971, this selection of Saunders Mac Lane's
most distinguished papers takes the reader on a journey through the
most important milestones of the mathematical world in the
twentieth century. Mac Lane was an extraordinary mathematician and
a dedicated teacher who cared earnestly about the values of science
and education. His life spanned nearly a century of mathematical
progress. In his earlier years, he participated in the exciting
developments in Goettingen. He studied under David Hilbert, Hermann
Weyl, and Paul Bernays. Later, he contributed to the more abstract
and general mathematical viewpoints which emerged in the twentieth
century. Perhaps the most outstanding accomplishment during his
long and extraordinary career was the development of the concept
and theory of categories, together with Samuel Eilenberg, which has
broad applications in different areas, in particular in topology
and the foundations of mathematics.
