Mathematical Colloquium

Upcoming talks:

Tue 15 Dec 2026, 16:30: Jasmin Blanchette (Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München)
Lean Before You Leap
Lean is a popular proof assistant (also called interactive theorem prover) and programming language introduced by Leonardo de Moura in 2013. I will briefly review the historical development of proof assistants since the 1960s. Then I will present Lean, Lean's Mathlib library of formally verified mathematics, and Mathlib's fast-growing AI-developed extension Tau Ceti. The talk will include a live demonstration of Lean and Mathlib. I will mention some success stories about formalized mathematics using Lean. I will conclude by describing some of my team's research on developing and using Lean.
