Abstract
Felix Klein’s Erlangen program lays out a blueprint for understanding a geometry by way of the mappings that preserve that geometry. This vision has become quite prevalent and powerful in modern approaches to the subject. Certainly Alexandre Grothendieck and Saunders Mac Lane carried this idea to new heights in their modern formulations of algebraic geometry and algebraic topology.
