Synopsis
Model theory is a branch of mathematical logic where we study mathem- ical structures by considering the ?rst-order sentences true in those str- turesandthesetsde'nableby'rst-orderformulas.Traditionallytherehave been two principal themes in the subject: *startingwithaconcretemathematicalstructure,suchasthe'eldofreal numbers, and using model-theoretic techniques to obtain new information about the structure and the sets de'nable in the structure; * looking at theories that have some interesting property and proving general structure theorems about their models. A good example of the ?rst theme is Tarski's work on the ?eld of real numbers. Tarski showed that the theory of the real ?eld is decidable. This is a sharp contrast to G¨ odel's Incompleteness Theorem, which showed that the theory of the seemingly simpler ring of integers is undecidable. For his proof, Tarski developed the method of quanti'er elimination which can be n used to show that all subsets of R de'nable in the real ?eld are geom- rically well-behaved. More recently, Wilkie [103] extended these ideas to prove that sets de'nable in the real exponential ?eld are also well-behaved. ThesecondthemeisillustratedbyMorley'sCategoricityTheorem,which says that if T is a theory in a countable language and there is an uncou- able cardinal ? such that, up to isomorphism, T has a unique model of cardinality ?,then T has a unique model of cardinality ? for every - countable'.ThislinehasbeenextendedbyShelah[92],whohasdeveloped deep general classi'cation results., This book offers an introductory presentation on model theory emphasizing connections to algebra. It will be an appropriate introduction both for graduate students interested in advanced work in model theory and for students and researchers in logic or algebra who want to learn the basic results and themes of model theory. In the end, the reader will have a firm background in model theory and be well motivated and well prepared for more advanced treatments like Pillay's Geometric Model Theory or Buechler's Essential Stability Theory., From the reviews: "This is an extremely fine graduate-level textbook on model theory.

- 1***7 (61)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI ordered Real and Functional Analysis by Serge Lang from this seller. The book arrived on time and was extremely well packaged. The condition of the book was exactly as described by the seller, and I could not believe the price for the book. It was a great value for the money. The book's appearance and condition are excellent. I had no issues with this seller. I recommend this seller. For the quality and type of book, you cannot beat the price.
- 6***6 (116)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseReceived the new book and it's much more than just as described. I enjoy reading the book so much that I can't put it down. The purchase price was good and the shipping cost was very reasonable. The new book was packaged in a bubble wrap shipping bag for protection and it arrived very fast. This Seller is AAA+++++ I would recommend them to anyone. Thank You Very Much!!!
