It asks how far formal logic, carefully designed languages, and computation can go in representing and checking mathematical arguments.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My current interest is in learning how proof assistants such as &lt;a href="https://leanprover-community.github.io/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"&gt;Lean&lt;/a&gt; connect abstract foundations with practical verification. The subject feels especially compelling because it draws on logic, algorithms, complexity, and the craft of expressing ideas precisely enough for both humans and machines.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
