Modal logic, an extension of classical logic, investigates the modes of truth such as necessity and possibility. Its development has been closely intertwined with advances in proof theory, a field ...
MIT Press recently published Fundamental Proof Methods in Computer Science, a book by Konstantine Arkoudas and David Musser, a professor emeritus of computer science at the Rensselaer Polytechnic ...
A mathematician will turn a groundbreaking 100-page proof into computer code. The proof tool, Lean, lets users turn proofs written in prose into rules and logic for testing. Kevin Buzzard already uses ...
In 2024, an AI entered the fray of the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO). Google’s AlphaProof is part of the same Alpha group that also created AlphaFold and AlphaGo. It solved problems that ...
Justification logic extends traditional modal frameworks by introducing explicit representations of evidential support, thereby refining our understanding of epistemic reasoning. In contrast to ...
It’s difficult to get computers to think like humans, so mathematicians are trying the opposite. A proposed mathematical framework forces humans to think more like machines in order to harness the ...
