Skipped thus far (that is, what needs to be done still)
The following notions have not been introduced on yet, and Howson is only a reference work, hence unsuitable as a primary source:

$\S 1$: Some mathematical language
 * Variables and quantifiers
 * Definition:Closed Formula (no free vars)
 * Definition:Open Formula (free vars)
 * Definition:Solution Set (for relations with free vars)
 * Axiom systems
 * Definition:Satisfiable Proof System (one which has a model)
 * Definition:Consistent Proof System (one for which $\varnothing \not\vdash \phi$ for some $\phi$)
 * Definition:Relative Consistency (consistent embedding of one proof system into another)
 * Definition:Independent Axiom (not derivable from others)
 * Definition:Independent Proof System (all axioms independent)
 * Definition:Categorical Axiom System (all models isomorphic)

$\S 4$: Number systems I
 * Peano's Axioms
 * Definition:Isotonic (the operation, if a relation is compatible with it)
 * A set-theoretic approach
 * Cardinality of Power Set of Finite Set for infinite sets
 * Definition:Finite Set (corresponding to D-infinite)
 * Stuff on (in)finite cardinals
 * $|\R| = 2^{\aleph_0}$
 * The rational integers
 * Definition:Negative to denominate $-x$

$\S 5$: Groups I
 * Definition:Periodic Group (all elements finite order)
 * Definition:Torsion-Free Group (only $e$ finite order; also called aperiodic)
 * Subgroups
 * Definition:Extension of Group (converse relation to subgroup)

$\S 6$: Rings and fields
 * Product of Ideals is Ideal
 * GCD and LCM in PID, for multiple elements at once
 * Definition:Prime Element, intricacies with "prime" and "irreducible" to be addressed

$\S 7$: Homomorphisms and quotient algebras
 * Definition:Exact Sequence of Group Homomorphisms, $\ker g = \operatorname{im} f$ (also "exact pair")
 * Definition:Short Exact Sequence of group homomorphisms
