Abstract
In this chapter, we initiate a systematic study of important classes of structures and theories. Of particular importance are saturated structures and \(\aleph _0\)-categorical and stable theories. We also introduce Morley rank and Morley degrees and generalise the notion of independence in minimal sets given in Chap. 2 to forking independence.
