This paper provides a very readable introduction to category theory, providing not just the formal definitions, but also the motivations behind them, thus demonstrating convincingly that (in the author's words) ``Category theory plays an important role as a unifying agent in the rapidly expanding universe of mathematics.'' List of contents: 1. Categories, 2. Functors, 3. Natural transformations, 4. Adjoint functors, 5. Factorization systems, 6. Cartesian closedness, 7. Outlook: monads, algebraic theories, locally presentable categories, topological functors, topoi; 38 references. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0966.00025].
