Learning objectives

The aim of the course is to provide an introduction to the techniques of mechanization of logical reasoning, using tools based on automatic deduction systems or proof assistant systems. Particular importance will be given to the techniques of formalization and mechanical reasoning using goal-driven software systems. At the end of the course students will be able to deal with formalization and automatic verification using either automatic reasoners or proof-assistants. Students will be able to continue their studies in the field of mechanical reasoning, for example by developing master's theses.

Learning assessment procedures

To pass the exam, a project must be carried out which will be awarded one month before the first exam. Each project can be carried out by a group of one or two people. The project must be written in Coq (with the code properly commented) and be accompanied by a report of a few pages. Each project can be made using the constructs and tactics seen in class. Any construct and tactics used and not explained in class must be explained in the accompanying report. The exam will consist of an oral exam in which the project carried out will be discussed.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE

Evaluation criteria

The following will be evaluated:
1) the realization of the project;
2) the oral in which the project is discussed.

Criteria for the composition of the final grade

The final grade will be based on how the project was carried out and on how the examiners will answer the questions during the oral session.
