Abstract
Our goal in this chapter is to establish a mathematical foundation for the following chapters. We provide here brief introductions to set theory, Boolean algebra, ternary algebra, and directed graph theory. The material is presented rather concisely, and the reader may wish to refer to some introductory texts for additional explanations [5, 6, 25, 115]. We point out that, while most of the material in this chapter appears frequently in basic texts on discrete mathematics, this is not the case for the section on ternary algebra.
