　　《國外數學名著係列（影印版）32：模型論引論》以現代觀點介紹模型論，著重強調其在代數學中的應用。前半部分包括模型構造技巧的經典論述，如類型空間，素模型，飽和模型，可數模型，不可辨元等理論及其應用。在書中後半部分，作者首先介紹莫利的範疇性定理，隨之討論穩定性理論，著重論述Ω-穩定性理論。最後，作者舉例闡明瞭赫魯索夫斯基如何將這些理論運用於丟番圖幾何。《國外數學名著係列（影印版）32：模型論引論》顯著特色之一是包含一些其他入門型教材所未涉及的重要論題，如Ω-穩定群和強極小集的幾何學。
　　作者DavidMarker是伊利諾斯大學芝加哥分校的數學教授，主要研究數學邏輯和模型論及其在代數和幾何中的應用。《國外數學名著係列（影印版）32：模型論引論》基於作者1998年在數學科學研究所發錶的係列演講。
