Abstract

Interactive theorem proving software can check, manipulate, and generate proofs of mathematical statements, just as computer algebra software can manipulate numbers, polynomials, and matrices. Over the last few years, these systems have become highly sophisticated and have learnt a large amount of mathematics. One has to be open to the idea these systems will change the way mathematics is done, and how it is taught in universities.

At the ICERM workshop "Lean for the Curious Mathematician 2022", experts in the Lean theorem prover will explain how to do number theory, topology, geometry, analysis, and algebra in the Lean theorem prover. This will be accessible to mathematicians without a specific background in computer-proof systems. The material covered will range from undergraduate mathematics to modern research. Participants will be invited to begin formalizing mathematical objects from their own research.

Application Deadline: March 7, 2022.
