International Workshop on Computational Approaches to the Foundations of Mathematics
Mathematisches Institut, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität MünichApril 11-13 2018
To the outside world, mathematics stands out amongst the exact sciences due to its reliability, timelessness, and absolute correctness. Closer inspection reveals an ongoing quest for the (ultimate) foundations of mathematics with a number of competing views (constructive mathematics, type theory, reverse mathematics, formalised mathematics). The aim of this workshop is to bring people from these various backgrounds together to create progress relating to the computational aspects of the foundations of mathematics.
Programme
The workshop will be preceded by a public lecture
The Concept of Proof given by Matthias Baaz, TU Wien
which will take place at 18:00 on Wednesday 11 April at LMU's Center for Advanced Studies (Seestrasse 13).
The main workshop will take place in Room B-349 of the Mathematics Department of LMU. A detailed programme is available here.
