== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> == * '''Model Theory''' β The study of the classes of mathematical structures from the perspective of mathematical logic. * '''Language ($L$)''' β A set of symbols (constants, functions, relations) used to build statements. * '''Structure ($\mathcal{M}$)''' β A "World" consisting of a set of objects and definitions for the symbols in the language. * '''Model''' β A structure that makes all the axioms of a theory true ($\mathcal{M} \models T$). * '''Satisfaction ($\models$)''' β The relationship between a structure and a statement (e.g., "The integers satisfy the statement 1+1=2"). * '''Isomorphism''' β A mapping between two models showing they are identical in structure even if their labels are different. * '''Elementary Equivalence''' β Two models are equivalent if they satisfy all the same statements in a given language. * '''LΓΆwenheimβSkolem Theorem''' β A theorem showing that if a theory has an infinite model, it must have models of every possible infinite size. * '''Categoricity''' β A property where a theory has only one possible model (up to isomorphism). * '''Stability Theory''' β A branch of model theory that classifies models based on how many "types" of elements they contain. * '''Quantifier Elimination''' β A method to simplify statements by removing "For all" or "There exists" symbols. * '''Ultraproduct''' β A way to combine an infinite number of models into one "Super-model." * '''Non-Standard Model''' β A model that satisfies a theory but looks very different from the "usual" one (e.g., a model of arithmetic with "infinite" numbers). </div> <div style="background-color: #006400; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
