Abstract
In this chapter we survey some basic concepts and results from the theories of automata and universal algebras. It is presumed that the reader has a certain routine in the structural theory of automata and universal algebras. Thus, the results of this chapter are stated without proofs. The only exceptions are certain special group theory results and two statements concerning products of automata, the constructive proofs of which will be needed in our later discussions.
