A Special Issue on Formal Proof in Notices of the American Mathematical Society (December, 2008)

Using computers in proofs both extends mathematics with new results and creates new mathematical questions about the nature and technique of such proofs. The special issue of Notices of the American Mathematical Society features a collection of articles by practitioners and theories of such formal proofs which explore both aspects.
