A truly rigorous textbook

104 Views Asked by At

Does there exist a mathematical text that references a formal computer verified proof for every theorem it presents? I'm imagining a digital textbook that gives the higher level concepts in typical prose but also provides a means to examine each logical step in as much detail as desired. If not, is such a thing feasible or likely to be attempted?

Not a textbook but a blog article by Timothy Gowers discussing the ability for computers to write proofs to problems at the level of analysis 1. Here he says

"a few years ago I teamed up with a colleague of mine, Mohan Ganesalingam, to write a computer program to solve easy problems."
and then he goes on to discuss the process
