商品描述

This book, presented in two parts, offers a slow introduction to mathematical logic, and several basic concepts of model theory, such as first-order definability, types, symmetries, and elementary extensions.

Its first part, Logic Sets, and Numbers, shows how mathematical logic is used to develop the number structures of classical mathematics. The exposition does not assume any prerequisites; it is rigorous, but as informal as possible. All necessary concepts are introduced exactly as they would be in a course in mathematical logic; but are accompanied by more extensive introductory remarks and examples to motivate formal developments.

The second part, Relations, Structures, Geometry, introduces several basic concepts of model theory, such as first-order definability, types, symmetries, and elementary extensions, and shows how they are used to study and classify mathematical structures. Although more advanced, this second part is accessible to the reader who is either already familiar with basic mathematical logic, or has carefully read the first part of the book. Classical developments in model theory, including the Compactness Theorem and its uses, are discussed. Other topics include  tameness, minimality, and order minimality of structures.

The book can be used as an introduction to model theory, but unlike standard texts, it does not require familiarity with abstract algebra. This book will also be of interest to mathematicians who know the technical aspects of the subject, but are not familiar with its history and philosophical background. 

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書分為兩部分,提供數學邏輯的緩慢入門,以及模型理論的幾個基本概念,如一階可定義性、類型、對稱性和基本擴展。

第一部分「邏輯、集合與數字」展示了數學邏輯如何用於發展古典數學的數字結構。這部分的闡述不假設任何先備知識;雖然內容嚴謹,但盡可能非正式。所有必要的概念都以數學邏輯課程中會介紹的方式呈現,但伴隨著更廣泛的引言和例子,以激發正式發展的動機。

第二部分「關係、結構、幾何」介紹了模型理論的幾個基本概念,如一階可定義性、類型、對稱性和基本擴展,並展示了它們如何用於研究和分類數學結構。雖然這部分內容較為進階,但對於已經熟悉基本數學邏輯的讀者,或是仔細閱讀過本書第一部分的讀者來說,仍然是可接觸的。書中討論了模型理論中的古典發展,包括緊湊性定理及其應用。其他主題包括結構的馴良性、最小性和序最小性。

本書可作為模型理論的入門,但與標準教材不同的是,它不要求對抽象代數有熟悉的了解。本書也將吸引那些了解該主題技術方面的數學家,但對其歷史和哲學背景不太熟悉的讀者。
