Teaching
Keisler now teaches at the University of Wisconsin – Madison and works in the areas of model theory and nonstandardanalysis .
In 1973 he published the work Model Theory with Chen Chung Chang , which immediately became the standard work of model theory (first-order predicate logic). The third edition of the book, published in 1990, also contains more recent results and is still considered the "Bible" of model theory.
He is a fellow of the American Mathematical Society . In 1970 he gave a plenary lecture at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Nice (Model Theory).
