Description: The technique of algebraic specification of abstract data types is introduced informally beginning with the Signature. Homomorphisms are introduced as structure-preserving relationships between algebras of the signature. Equations may be used to quotient the term algebra and provide a sound though not complete proof system. Initial and final semantics are discussed as candidates for the meaning of the specification.
