Book Description
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th Conference on Computability in Europe, CiE 2010, held in Ponta Delgada, Azores, Portugal, in June/July 2010. The 28 revised papers presented together with 20 invited lectures were carefully reviewed and selected from 90 submissions. The papers address not only the more established lines of research of computational complexity and the interplay between proofs and computation, but also novel views that rely on physical and biological processes and models to find new ways of tackling computations and improving their efficiency.

Languages : en
Pages : 539
Book Description
This course provides a first introduction to the Curry-Howard correspondence between programs and proofs, from a theoretical programmer's perspective: we want to understand the theory behind logic and programming languages, but also to write concrete programs (in OCaml) and proofs (in Agda). After an introduction to functional programming languages, we present propositional logic, λ-calculus, the Curry-Howard correspondence, first-order logic, Agda, dependent types and homotopy type theory.

Fundamental Proof Methods in Computer Science
Author: Konstantine Arkoudas
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262342502
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 1223
Book Description
A textbook that teaches students to read and write proofs using Athena. Proof is the primary vehicle for knowledge generation in mathematics. In computer science, proof has found an additional use: verifying that a particular system (or component, or algorithm) has certain desirable properties. This book teaches students how to read and write proofs using Athena, a freely downloadable computer language. Athena proofs are machine-checkable and written in an intuitive natural-deduction style. The book contains more than 300 exercises, most with full solutions. By putting proofs into practice, it demonstrates the fundamental role of logic and proof in computer science as no other existing text does. Guided by examples and exercises, students are quickly immersed in the most useful high-level proof methods, including equational reasoning, several forms of induction, case analysis, proof by contradiction, and abstraction/specialization. The book includes auxiliary material on SAT and SMT solving, automated theorem proving, and logic programming. The book can be used by upper undergraduate or graduate computer science students with a basic level of programming and mathematical experience. Professional programmers, practitioners of formal methods, and researchers in logic-related branches of computer science will find it a valuable reference.

Types for Proofs and Programs
Author: Hendrik Pieter Barendregt
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9783540580850
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 404
Book Description
This volume contains thoroughly refereed and revised full papers selected from the presentations at the first workshop held under the auspices of the ESPRIT Basic Research Action 6453 Types for Proofs and Programs in Nijmegen, The Netherlands, in May 1993. As the whole ESPRIT BRA 6453, this volume is devoted to the theoretical foundations, design and applications of systems for theory development. Such systems help in designing mathematical axiomatisation, performing computer-aided logical reasoning, and managing databases of mathematical facts; they are also known as proof assistants or proof checkers.

How to Prove It
Author: Daniel J. Velleman
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 0521861241
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 401
Book Description
Many students have trouble the first time they take a mathematics course in which proofs play a significant role. This new edition of Velleman's successful text will prepare students to make the transition from solving problems to proving theorems by teaching them the techniques needed to read and write proofs. The book begins with the basic concepts of logic and set theory, to familiarize students with the language of mathematics and how it is interpreted. These concepts are used as the basis for a step-by-step breakdown of the most important techniques used in constructing proofs. The author shows how complex proofs are built up from these smaller steps, using detailed 'scratch work' sections to expose the machinery of proofs about the natural numbers, relations, functions, and infinite sets. To give students the opportunity to construct their own proofs, this new edition contains over 200 new exercises, selected solutions, and an introduction to Proof Designer software. No background beyond standard high school mathematics is assumed. This book will be useful to anyone interested in logic and proofs: computer scientists, philosophers, linguists, and of course mathematicians.

Basic Category Theory for Computer Scientists
Author: Benjamin C. Pierce
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262326450
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 117
Book Description
Basic Category Theory for Computer Scientists provides a straightforward presentation of the basic constructions and terminology of category theory, including limits, functors, natural transformations, adjoints, and cartesian closed categories. Category theory is a branch of pure mathematics that is becoming an increasingly important tool in theoretical computer science, especially in programming language semantics, domain theory, and concurrency, where it is already a standard language of discourse. Assuming a minimum of mathematical preparation, Basic Category Theory for Computer Scientists provides a straightforward presentation of the basic constructions and terminology of category theory, including limits, functors, natural transformations, adjoints, and cartesian closed categories. Four case studies illustrate applications of category theory to programming language design, semantics, and the solution of recursive domain equations. A brief literature survey offers suggestions for further study in more advanced texts. Contents Tutorial • Applications • Further Reading
