Model Theory of Fields: Lecture Notes in Logic 5, Second Edition

The model theory of fields is a fascinating subject stretching from Tarski's work on the decidability of the theories of the real and complex fields to Hrushovksi's recent proof of the Mordell-Lang conjecture for function fields. This volume provides an insightful introduction to this active area, concentrating on connections to stability theory. David Marker is a professor at the University of Illinois, Chicago. His research includes model theory and its applications to real algebraic and analytic geometry, exponentiation, and differential algebra. Margit Messmer is a professor at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Her research interests include mathematical logic and model theory. Anand Pillay is also a professor at the University of Illinois, Urbana- Champaign.
