It is well known that given the polynomial algebra (for definitions, see §2), an algebra of type τ, and a sequence a of elements of , one can define a congruence relation θa of such that the factor algebra is isomorphic to the subalgebra of generated by a, and the isomorphism is given in a very simple way.
