An introduction to the Lean proof assistant for mathematicians

09.01.2025 13:15 - 14:45

Riccardo Brasca (IMJ-PRG)

The goal of this talk is to give an introduction to formalization of mathematics: this is the process of using a computer to reason. I will explain what formalizing mathematics means and why it is interesting and useful for people interested in "standard" mathematics. I will show how this is done in practice using Lean, one of the several proof assistants available today. This is not a course in logic nor foundations of mathematics, in particular no prior knowledge of these topics is needed.

The talk will take place in HS5!
