Until illness forced me into a disability retirement, I was a reference librarian in the Philosophy Division of the main branch of the DC Public Library. Currently, I am working my way through the Schaum's Outline Book on Set Theory. I am a beginner and would enjoy receiving pointers and guidance on the relationship between set theory and category theory. On the Web I have read brief summaries on the Bourbaki School's view of set theory and structuralism in the philosophy of mathematics, as it relates to set theory. Please e-mail and/or mail me any information that might assist me. Thanks in advance for your support. Warren Glick 4850 Conn.

W. Lawvere and S. H. Schanuel. They developed the book as a text for a 'mathematics for poets' course. John Isbell
