Nowadays algebra is understood basically as the general theory of
algebraic oper ations and relations. It is characterised by a
considerable intrinsic naturalness of its initial notions and
problems, the unity of its methods, and a breadth that far exceeds
that of its basic concepts. It is more often that its power begins
to be displayed when one moves outside its own limits. This
characteristic ability is seen when one investigates not only
complete operations, but partial operations. To a considerable
extent these are related to algebraic operators and algebraic
operations. The tendency to ever greater generality is amongst the
reasons that playa role in explaining this development. But other
important reasons play an even greater role. Within this same
theory of total operations (that is, operations defined
everywhere), there persistently arises in its different sections a
necessity of examining the emergent feature of various partial
operations. It is particularly important that this has been found
in those parts of algebra it brings together and other areas of
mathematics it interacts with as well as where algebra finds
applica tion at the very limits of mathematics. In this connection
we mention the theory of the composition of mappings, category
theory, the theory of formal languages and the related theory of
mathematical linguistics, coding theory, information theory, and
algebraic automata theory. In all these areas (as well as in
others) from time to time there arises the need to consider one or
another partial operation."
