Abstract: Continuous first-order logic is a generalization of (discrete) first-order logic used to apply the methods of model theory to structures with an underlying real-valued metric. We will give an overview of the basics of continuous logic, emphasizing similarities and differences with discrete logic as well as specific motivations coming from analysis. We will then discuss some current research directions.
