Abstract
One of the most extensive parts of Tarski's contributions to logic is his work on the algebraization of the subject. His work here involves Boolean algebras, relation algebras, cylindric algebras, Boolean algebras with operators, Brouwerian algebras, and closure algebras. The last two are less developed in his work, although his contributions are basic to other work in those subjects. At any rate, not being conversant with the latest developments in those fields, we shall concentrate on an exposition of Tarski's work in the first four areas, trying to put them in the perspective of present-day developments. For useful comments, criticisms, and suggestions, the author is indebted to Steven Givant, Leon Henkin, Wilfrid Hodges, Bjarni Jónsson, Roger Lyndon, and Robert Vaught.
