punctilious


A human-friendly and developer-friendly math proof assistant library.

About

Punctilious is a math proof assistant open-source project developed in python. In straightforward language, it intends to facilitate the study and development of mathematical proofs by human beings.

There exists multiple math proof assistants, including:

...and many more. The proof assistant page on Wikipedia contains a general-purpose comparison of these.

In contrast, punctilious is a ridiculous Lilliputian with neither the length, nor the breadth of these time-proven systems.

So why develop yet another math proof assistant?

Besides being a fun and thrilling learning experience, the focus points of punctilious are:

  • Human-friendly and developer-friendly inputs (i.e.: write math as we learn it)
  • Ease of use
  • Human-friendly and developer-friendly outputs (i.e.: readable)

Punctilious does not pay much attention to:

  • Performance (i.e. for large-scale proof applications)
