What formalized mathematics is all aboutAdam Topaz, University of Alberta, Canada Zoom only · JP: 21:00 · FR: 13:00
Many people think that formalizing mathematics is mainly about the formal verification of theorems. Yes, that's one of the motivations, but there are so many more. One such motivation is that it allows for new ways of organizing mathematical knowledge in large cohesive libraries of formalized mathematics. For instance, Lean's main mathematical library, called mathlib, currently has over 1.5 million lines of formalized mathematics, with over 300 contributors, which, by the nature of the system itself, is guaranteed to be consistent at all times, across all its subcomponents. |
