Carolina at Chapel Hill Lines: 13 AutoMath is a tool for proof verification. The idea is to take a proof and write it in a very formal way, so that the mechanisms used in the proof can be mechanically verified. This is done using a type-checking scheme similar in concept to those used in modern programming languages. For references, the mathematician N. G. DeBruijn would be a good place to start. cheers, Tim
