His main interest was Algebraic Topology . He worked on the axiomatic treatment of Homology Theory with Norman Steenrod (whose names the Eilenberg-Steenrod Axioms bear), and on Homological Algebra with Saunders Mac Lane , wrote a book on Homological Algebra with Henri Cartan that became a classic, and took part in the Bourbaki group meetings. Later in life he worked mainly in pure Category Theory , being one of the founders of the field. The ''Eilenberg telescope'' is a surprising construction, applying the Telescoping Cancellation idea to Projective Module s. Eilenberg also wrote an important book on Automata Theory . The X-machine (a form of automaton) was introduced in 1974 by Samuel Eilenberg. SEE ALSO REFERENCES
