@Meaningness Rota might have used notes from http://www.amazon.com/Algebra-Saunders-MacLane/dp/B00195S818?tag=duckduckgo-ffsb-20 … but http://www.amazon.com/Categories-Working-Mathematician-Graduate-Mathematics/dp/0387984038/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8 … is the standard reference.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -
