Computer algebra meets automated theorem proving:Integrating maple and PVS

We describe an interface between version 6 of the Maple computer algebra system with the PVS automated theorem prover. The interface is designed to allow Maple users access to the robust and checkable proof environment of PVS. We also extend this environment by the provision of a library of proof strategies for use in real analysis. We demonstrate examples using the interface and the real analysis library. These examples provide proofs which are both illustrative and applicable to genuine symbolic computation problems.
