Abstract
We finish this introductory partwith some algebraic properties of boolean functions: their expression and approximation by polynomials. We will use these properties later to prove lower bounds for several circuit models. It is, however, convenient to have all these properties collected at one place. The impatient reader who wishes to begin proving lower bounds immediately may safely skip this section, and return later when the properties in question are used.
