Categories and Homological Algebra
by Pierre Schapira
Publisher: UPMC 2011
Number of pages: 125
Description:
The aim of these notes is to introduce the reader to the language of categories and to present the basic notions of homological algebra, first from an elementary point of view, with the notion of derived functors, next with a more sophisticated approach, with the introduction of triangulated and derived categories.
