"Designing and implementing a proof verifier for set theory and
analysis"
 
This talk will describe a computerized proof verifier system,
currently under construction, which is being designed to support
standard mathematical reasoning comfortably. This requires that we
streamline the endowment of formulae and formula transformations which
the system provides, but try to maximize its power. Accordingly, the
system incorporates various very powerful means, including a strealined
version of Zermelo-Frankel set theory, for definition of objects and
proof of their properties. The parts of the system currently working
will be demonstrated and the way in which we hope to reach a fully
formal proof of the Cauchy integeral theorem will be explained.
