Why Do Informal Proofs Conform to Formal Norms?
Kant discovered a philosophical problem with mathematical proof. Despite being a priori, its methodology involves more than analytic truth. But what else is involved? This problem is widely taken to have been solved by Frege’s extension of logic beyond its restricted (and largely Aristotelian) form. Nevertheless, a successor problem remains: both traditional and contemporary (classical) mathema...
متن کاملFormal Security Proofs
The goal of the lecture is to present some aspects of formal security proofs of protocols. This is a wide area, and there is another lecture (by B. Banchet) on related topics. The idea is therefore to explain in depth one particular technique, that relies on deducibility constraints. We rely mainly on two introductory documents [8,14]. Actually, the current notes are the beginning of [8]. Here ...
متن کاملDevelopments in Formal Proofs
A proof assistant is interactive computer software that humans use to prepare scripts of mathematical proofs. These proof scripts can be parsed and verified directly from the fundamental rules of logic and the foundational axioms of mathematics. The technology underlying proof assistants and formal proofs has been under development for decades and grew out of efforts in the early twentieth cent...

متن کاملThe Problem of Validity Proofs
In philosophical contexts, logical formalisms are often resorted to as a means to render the validity and invalidity of informal arguments formally transparent. Since Oliver (1967) and Massey (1975), however, it has been recognized in the literature that identifying valid arguments is easier than identifying invalid ones. Still, any viable theory of adequate logical formalization should at leas...
