From what little I scrolled, I didn't see any category theory. Just some elementary group theory, point-set topology, real analysis, linear algebra etc Most of it standard material for undergrad math majors.

"Simple algebra" means different things in different professions? For example, Dummit&Foote's Abstract Algebra[0] would be considered "elementary algebra" by most mathematicians. For another example, Principles of Mathematical Analysis by Walter Rudin[1] is "elementary analysis".
