Gilbert, John R.2007-04-232007-04-231986-05http://techreports.library.cornell.edu:8081/Dienst/UI/1.0/Display/cul.cs/TR86-750https://hdl.handle.net/1813/6590We describe the results of an experiment in which the Nuprl proof development system was used in conjunction with a collection of simple proof-assisting programs to constructively prove a substantial theorem of number theory. We believe that these results indicate the promise of an approach to reasoning about computationally meaningful mathematics by which proof construction and the results of formal reasoning are mathematically comprehensible.1678879 bytes384546 bytesapplication/pdfapplication/postscripten-UScomputer sciencetechnical reporttechnical report
