Hi Eric,

My undergraduate adviser wrote a book on constructive analysis. An Amazon
review is quoted below.  It seems like it wasn't so short or pleasant:


Really? Bishop was your advisor? There was an active constructive mathematics group at NMSU when I was there. I didn’t really participate. Proofs are hard enough with no constraints.

I have suspected, based on reading only about ten pages of the Homotopy Type Theory book, that the Univalent foundations approach is very close to constructive. In particular, IIRC, the Axiom of Choice is false in that approach.
