The clutch slave cylinder is bolted, in the front, on the
driverside of the tranny.

It could be either the clutch master cylinder or the slave cylinder, but I'm thinking slave. It's located on top of the transmission bell housing on the drivers' side, just aft of where the tranny is bolted to the engine. The fluid used is brake fluid.
If it's the slave cylinder that's bad you'll see some leakage around the slave, and the master cylinder (located beside the brake master cylinder on the drivers' side fire-wall) will have no fluid left in it because of the leaky slave. The clutch would have failed without warning as you described.
On the other hand, if it's the master cylinder that's toast, You may have noticed (If you ride the clutch----- not recommended) that when you hold the clutch in for several seconds you can't shift into another gear unless you first pump the clutch pedal. This means the fluid in the master is leaking past its own seals because they're worn. The fluid level in the master will usually still be full, but the syptoms will eventually deteriorate to what you've described above.
Neither of these cylinders are expensive as long as you don't go to Mazda for them. You'll need to remove the two bolts holding the slave onto the bell housing (a bitch to get at), and then undo the hydraulic fitting. Then install the new slave using the reverse procedure. After that you'll need an assistant to monitor the clutch pedal while you bleed the system to remove any air that no doubt found its way into the line during the re and re.
If this is too much hassle for you, a shop will usually only charge for the part and brake fluid + about 1 hr labor. Hope this helps.

That is a real question. Common sence would lead you from the clutch pedal to master cylinder to hose to slave.

I grant you the newbie award for the week!

Sooner than later someone is going to ask how to use the cars keys?
