The HOL light theory of Euclidean space
A formal approach to logic and reasoning initiated by Frege in the late 19th and early 20th centuries marked a step function in the evolution of the subject. In the following decades, the foundations of modern mathematics and logic were cemented by the likes of Hilbert and Gödel. The developments in formal... more
