[citation needed] He subsequently developed the notion in considerably more detail in his 1982 monograph Basic Concepts of Enriched Category Theory.
He also developed the enriched counterparts of Kan extensions, density of the Yoneda embedding, and essentially algebraic theories.
[citation needed] In 1967 Kelly was appointed Professor of Pure Mathematics at the University of New South Wales.
He continued to participate[dubious – discuss] in the department as professorial fellow and professor emeritus until his death at age 76 on 26 January 2007.
