Since its birth, Model Theory has been developing a number of methods
and concepts that have their intrinsic relevance, but also provide
fruitful and notable applications in various fields of Mathematics. It
is a lively and fertile research area which deserves the attention of
the mathematical world.
This volume:
-is easily accessible to young people and mathematicians unfamiliar with
logic;
-gives a terse historical picture of Model Theory;
-introduces the latest developments in the area;
-provides 'hands-on' proofs of elimination of quantifiers, elimination
of imaginaries and other relevant matters.
A Guide to Classical and Modern Model Theory is for trainees and
professional model theorists, mathematicians working in Algebra and
Geometry and young people with a basic knowledge of logic.
