Annalisa Marcja, Carlo Toffalori Guide to Classical and Modern Model Theory

Annotation

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.
