Abstract

A number of combinations of reasoning and computer algebra systems have been proposed; in this paper we describe another, namely a way to incorporate a logic in the computer algebra system Axiom. We examine the type system of Alder - the Axiom Library Compiler and show that with some modifications we can use the dependent types of the system to model a logic, under the Curry-Howard isomorphism. We give a number of example applications of the logic we construct and explain a prototype implementation of a modified type-checking system written in Haskell.
