  3. Mathematical proof - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_proof

    The definition of a formal proof is intended to capture the concept of proofs as written in the practice of mathematics. The soundness of this definition amounts to the belief that a published proof can, in principle, be converted into a formal proof.

    Automated theorem proving refers to the development of computer programs that search and find derivations (formal proofs) of mathematical theorems. [37] Finding derivations is a difficult task because the search space can be very large; an exhaustive search of every possible derivation is theoretically possible but computationally infeasible ...

    Mathematical and theoretical biology, or biomathematics, is a branch of biology which employs theoretical analysis, mathematical models and abstractions of living organisms to investigate the principles that govern the structure, development and behavior of the systems, as opposed to experimental biology which deals with the conduction of ...

    Pages which contain only proofs (of claims made in other articles) should be placed in the subcategory Category:Article proofs. Pages which contain theorems and their proofs should be placed in the subcategory Category:Articles containing proofs. Articles related to automatic theorem proving should be placed in Category:Automated theorem proving.

    For proofs involving objects with multiple indices which can be solved by going to the bottom (if anyone wishes to take up the effort). Similar to diagram chasing. morally true Used to indicate that the speaker believes a statement should be true, given their mathematical experience, even though a proof has not yet been put forward. As a ...

    These problems were also studied by mathematicians, and this led to establish mathematical logic as a new area of mathematics, consisting of providing mathematical definitions to logics (sets of inference rules), mathematical and logical theories, theorems, and proofs, and of using mathematical methods to prove theorems about these concepts.
