Combining Dynamic Geometry, Automated Geometry Theorem Proving and Diagrammatic Proofs

چکیده
This paper outlines Geometry Explorer, a prototype system that allows users to create Euclidean geometry constructions using a dynamic geometry interface, specify conjectures about them and then use a full-angle method prover to automatically produce diagram independent, human-readable proofs to theorems. Our system can then automatically generate novel diagrammatic proofs of the forward-chaining and backward-chaining reasoning used by the geometry theorem prover, as well as visualise multiple proofs to single theorems. We discuss the features of our system, how they were implemented and the issues encountered when trying to create diagrammatic full-angle method proofs.

Using Computer-Assisted Multiple Representations in Learning Geometry Proofs
Geometry theorem proving involves skills that are difficult to learn. Instead of working with abstract and complicated representations, students might start with concrete, graphical representations. A proof tree is a graphical representation of a formal proof, with each node representing a proposition or given conditions. A computer-assisted learning environment called MR Geo is proposed to hel...
متن کاملAutomated theorem proving for elementary geometry
Thesis: Automated theorem proving for elementary geometry. This study analyses automated proofs of theorems from Euclidean Elements , book VI, using the area method. The theorems we will be discussing concern Euclidean field theory about equality of non-congruent figures and similarity of the figures [1]. The proofs are generated by the program WinGCLC. My proposed hypothesizes: 1. The way of m...
متن کاملA Coherent Logic Based Geometry Theorem Prover Capable of Producing Formal and Readable Proofs
We present a theorem prover ArgoCLP based on coherent logic that can be used for generating both readable and formal (machine verifiable) proofs in various theories, primarily geometry. We applied the prover to various axiomatic systems and proved tens of theorems from standard university textbooks on geometry. The generated proofs can be used in different educational purposes and can contribut...
متن کاملAutomated Theorem Proving in Projective Geometry with Bracket Algebra
We present a method which can produce readable proofs for theorems of constructive type involving points, lines and conics in projective geometry. The method extends Wu’s method to bracket algebra and develops the area method of Chou, Gao and Zhang in the framework of projective geometry.
متن کاملThe full angle method on the OpenGeoProver
Geometry with its formal, logical and spatial properties is well suited to be taught in an environment that includes dynamic geometry software (DGSs), geometry automated theorem provers (GATPs) and repositories of geometric problems (RGPs). With the integration of those tools in a given learning environment the student is able to explore the built-in knowledge, but also to do new constructions,...
