Description for Type Theory and Formal Proof: An Introduction
Hardback. A gentle introduction for graduate students and researchers in the art of formalizing mathematics on the basis of type theory. Num Pages: 490 pages, 35 b/w illus. 125 exercises. BIC Classification: UYA. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 254 x 177 x 29. Weight in Grams: 978.
Type theory is a fast-evolving field at the crossroads of logic, computer science and mathematics. This gentle step-by-step introduction is ideal for graduate students and researchers who need to understand the ins and outs of the mathematical machinery, the role of logical rules therein, the essential contribution of definitions and the decisive nature of well-structured proofs. The authors begin with untyped lambda calculus and proceed to several fundamental type systems, including the well-known and powerful Calculus of Constructions. The book also covers the essence of proof checking and proof development, and the use of dependent type theory to formalise mathematics. ... Read more
