Abstract
In this chapter we will study partial orders. Partial orders are a kind of structures. In this first section we will introduce the general notion of a structure and study general properties of structures. The mathematical theory that studies structures at this level of generality is called Universal Algebra. A very thorough overview of Universal Algebra can be found in Grätzer (1978a).
