Abstract: | ABSTRACT. The System for Automated Deduction (SAD) by Andrei Paskevich proof-checks texts written in nearly natural mathematical language, without explicit system commands or prover commands. Natural language features like soft typing by noun phrases guide efficient text processing and proof checking. We have implemented practical improvements of the checking algorithm and extensions of the input language, so that we are now able to process considerably longer and more complicated texts. These are immediately readable by mathematicians, as demonstrated by subsequent examples. This suggests an approach to formal mathematics through collections or libraries of texts in (a controlled) natural language. |
