Models for Smooth Infinitesimal Analysis Softcover reprint of hardcover 1st ed. 1991 edition

Marc Notes: Originally published: 1991.; 8; This text constructs categories of spaces which contain all the C?-manifolds, but in addition infinitesimal spaces and arbitrary function spaces. To this end, the techniques of Grothendieck toposes (and the logic inherent to them) are explained at a leisurely pace and applied. Table of Contents: I C?-Rings.- II C?-Rings as Variable Spaces.- III Two Archimedean Models for Synthetic Calculus.- IV Cohomology and Integration.- V Connections on Microlinear Spaces.- VI Models with Invertible Infinitesimals.- VII Smooth Infinitesimal Analysis.- Appendix 1: Sheaves and Forcing.- 1 Sites.- 2 Sheaves.- 3 Forcing.- Appendix 2: A survey of models.- Appendix 3: The integration axiom.- Appendix 4: The amazing right adjoint.- Appendix 5: Comments, References and Further Developments.- Index of symbols.
