The mechanized verification of mathematical proofs is an application of computational logic that is of importance in both mathematics and computer science. These applications range from the verification of formal properties of software systems, to increase the trust that software will work as expected, to the creation of corpora of formalized mathematics, where the activity of mathematicians is checked by machine and made available to other mathematicians for integration into their work. Formal proofs, in turn, can be produced either by humans with the aid of software, or by automated theorem provers and similar pieces of software that produce some form of evidence that a statement should hold. These certificates for the validity of stateme...
