: From: "Rob MacAulay" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : I have long been interested in Computer Algebra systems, and I : admit that one of the things that attracted me to Haskell were the : tantalizing hints that it would be ideal for mathematical : programming. [snip] : Would it also be true to say that FP offers the possibilty of : implementing more mathematically rigorous 'proof' systems as : well? I haven't had the time to find out more about this project. Also I don't know if you know about this yet. If not you may find the following interesting [quote from one of Bruno Buchberger's pages] The development of a new approach to mathematics that integrates "pure" and "algorithmic" mathematics in one common logical and software technological frame and is meant as an alternative to the currently prevailing "Bourbaki" formalization of mathematics. This research combines my past research experience in algorithmic mathematics, foundations of mathematics and computer science, didactics of mathematics, software and algorithm design, see publications since 1994.
