Formalize!(?) 2 - A philosophical & educational perspective on formalization in mathematics Saturday - January 15, 2022 A Zoom meeting to celebrate the World Logic Day 2022 (which is actually a day earlier) https://sites.google.com/view/wldzurich2022/startseite = Call for registration: We are organizing a one-day online workshop to commemorate the World Logic Day, on the topic of formalization in mathematics. Registration is free of charge and everybody is welcome to attend. == Speaker: 1. Merlin Carl (Europa Universität Flensburg) 2. Bernhard Fisseni (University Duisburg-Essen) 3. Dominik Kirst (Saarland University) 4. Gisele Secco (Universidade Federal de Santa Maria) 5. Bernhard Schröder (Universität Duisburg-Essen) 6. Anna Steensen (ETH Zurich) == World Logic Day This event is part of the celebration of world logic day. If you would like to contribute an event as well, please see http://wld.cipsh.international/organise_event.html for further information. == Topic: What are the chances and problems of the act of formalization in the context of mathematics? It is often said, that all of mathematics can be reduced to first-order logic and set theory. The derivation indicator view says that all proofs stand in some relation to a derivation, i.e. a mechanically checkable syntactical objects following fixed rules, that would not have any gaps. For a long time this was a mere hope. There may have been proofs of concepts from early logicists but derivation never played a big role in mathematical practice. The modern computer might change this. Interactive and automated theorem provers promise to make the construction of a justification without any gaps feasible for complex mathematics. Is this promise justified? Will the future of mathematical practice shift to more formal mathematics? Should it? We hope to illuminate such questions and focus especially on what these developments mean for the future of the curriculum of university students. This event features speakers speaking about both concrete projects and reflections on such endeavours in general. == Registration: The number of participants is limited and registrations will be accepted on a first come, first serve basis. Therefore please register as soon as possible. There are no costs associated with registration.
