DESCRIPTION:
Alan U. Kennington said Heavyweight model theory.. This is a heavy book, not a gentle first introduction to model theory. I am not an expert in this subject, but since no one else has reviewed this book yet, I'll say what I can.In this Dover book, "Model Theory: Third Edition, by Chang and Keisler, the first paragraph of page x, . Gary L. Herstein said Logic on Kindle, Done Right.. This review is for the Kindle edition, and will focus on those aspects of the text. Chang's book is a classic which stood as THE standard text book for upper-division undergrad/first year graduate courses, for a great many years. While some texts have superseded the Chang/Keisler. A classic Frank Cannonito This wonderful book should be on the shelf of every mathematical logician. It is a wonderful read and is now in a third edition. I couldn't recommend the book more highly.
This is the first and most successful textbook in logical model theory. Model theory deals with a branch of mathematical logic showing connections between a formal language and its interpretations or models. This classic treatment covers most aspects of first-order model theory and many of its applications to algebra and set theory.. Extensively updated and corrected in 1990 to accommodate developments in model theoretic methods — including classification theory and nonstandard analysis — the third edition added entirely new sections, exercises, and references.Each chapter introduces an individual method and discusses specific applications. Basic methods of constructing models include constants, elementary chains,
