The paper gives an exposition of the basic notions of combinatory algebra and the type-free lambda-calculus accompanied with motivations and historical comments. Classical properties concerning fixed points, foundations of computability theory and relation of the lambda-calculus to functional programming are presented. A translation of the finite state automaton model into the terms of combinatory algebra is given.
