In mathematics, model theory is the study of (classes of) mathematical structures such as groups, fields, graphs, or even universes of set theory, using tools from mathematical logic. A structure that gives meaning to the sentences of a formal language is called a model for the language. If a model for a language moreover satisfies a particular sentence or theory (set of sentences), it is called a model of the sentence or theory. Model theory has close ties to algebra and universal algebra.

This article focuses on finitary first order model theory of infinite structures. Finite model theory, which concentrates on finite structures, diverges significantly from the study of infinite structures in both the problems studied and the techniques used. Model theory in higher-order logics or infinitary logics is hampered by the fact that completeness does not in general hold for these logics. However, a great deal of study has also been done in such languages.

Asked by haylie j - Sat Sep 15 22:32:28 2007 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. A model is often used to describe an application of a theory for a particular case. Sometimes it involves a given set of initial and boundary conditions. For example, the behavior of the Eiffel tower in an earthquake may be *modeled* by a finite elements computer simulation. The underlying *theory* employed could be the Prandtl-Meyers Stress-Strain relationship for elastic-plastic flow in metals and, of course, Newtonian mechanics. In other cases, the term model is used more generally to mean some abstract representation or approximation to an underlying theory. In this sense, the P-M relationship above can be referred to as a "model" of the behavior of metals.

What is Noam Chomsky's Propaganda Model/Theory?
Q. I am writing an essay on a large media industry and would like to apply Noam Chomsky's Propaganda Model/Theory to my paper. However, I am a little muddled and confused over exactly what it is. I want to be 100% certain of his theory before I use it, especially since this paper is supposed to be a critical analysis! I have watched a few videos on YouTube and bought a couple of books, but I'm still a bit confused. Can anyone provide me with an "in a nutshell" answer? Thankyou! Please do not recommend Wikipedia as it is not an accurate source and cannot be cited in essays.

A. I don't think it can be explained in a nutshell. Have you read "Media Control, Second Edition: The Spectacular Achievements of Propaganda" and "Manufacturing Consent"? The blurb puts it: "reveals how falsification of history, suppression of information, and the promotion of vapid, empty concepts have become standard operating procedure for the leaders of the United States--both Democrats and Republicans--in their efforts to prevent citizens from raising awkward questions about U.S. policy." which is as concise as you're going to get...
