Naproche project site: formal math in natural, mathematician-readable language
zetalyrae · x · 2026-09-23
Naproche is a natural proof assistant: its input is a controlled natural language embedded in LaTeX, styled after how mathematicians actually write proofs. It translates natural language into formulas, generates proof obligations per step, and uses automated theorem provers to check them. The project shows formal mathematics can be done in a language immediately readable by mathematicians; students have formalized a range of undergraduate math, and a school on natural formal mathematics takes place in Bonn, June 3–5, 2025.
