{"product_id":"9781461264460","title":"A Course in Model Theory: An Introduction to Contemporary Mathematical Logic","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book, translated from the French, is an introduction to first-ord er model theory. The first six chapters are very basic: starting from scratch, they quickly reach the essential, namely, the back-and-forth method and compactness, which are illustrated with examples taken from algebra. The next chapter introduces logic via the study of the model s of arithmetic, and the following is a combinatorial tool-box prepari ng for the chapters on saturated and prime models. The last ten chapte rs form a rather complete but nevertheless accessible exposition of st ability theory, which is the core of the subject.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47049256337648,"sku":"9781461264460","price":70.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781461264460_p0.jpg?v=1763673052","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781461264460","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
