The focus lie on the relationships which a group may have with other groups, via \"universal properties\", a view on that group \"from the outside\". This method of categorical algebra, is actually not limited to the study of groups alone, but applies equally well to other similar categories of algebraic objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy introducing protomodular categories and Mal'tsev categories, which form a larger class, the structural properties of the category Gp of groups, show how they emerge from four very basic observations about the algebraic litteral calculus and how, studied for themselves at the conceptual categorical level, they lead to the main striking features of the category Gp of groups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHardly any previous knowledge of category theory is assumed, and just a little experience with standard algebraic structures such as groups and monoids. Examples and exercises help understanding the basic definitions and results throughout the text. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dominique Bourn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3319572180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783319572185\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Birkhauser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/26\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.25d","brand":"Dominique Bourn","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44073589866751,"sku":"9783319572185","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1b651d8c-dd00-4180-95e4-5d5afe3e5dbc.jpg?v=1685448720","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-groups-to-categorial-algebra-dominique-bourn-9783319572185","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
