Constructive Mathematics Context Constructive mathematics is pertinent to the PRL project because all of our logics have had a constructive core. This means that they can make distinctions that are critical in expressing computational mathematics. For example, it is trivial to express the notion that a problem is decidable; using the constructive "or" logical operator and letting P name the problem, we say P or not P. Our logics also express classical reasoning. In some cases this is accomplished by defining the classical logical operators in terms of the constructive ones. In other cases we have shown that it is consistent to add classical axioms as a way to produce subtheories of the constructive logic (subtheories in the sense of subtyping). For many centuries there has been a strong computational theme in mathematics. Prominent points have been the Greek interest in ruler and compass constructions, the Arab interest in algorithms and the algebra of solving equations, and the European development of the eighteenth and nineteenth century theory of functions. A noncomputational tradition has also enjoyed great success. This is often associated with set theory and pure existence proofs and the like. Nowadays this is called "classical mathematics" even though its distinct existence dates from the 1800s. Its modern expression was brought into focus by

Introduction Before mathematicians assert something (other than an axiom) they are supposed to have proved it true. What, then, do mathematicians mean when they assert a disjunction P Q , where P and Q P Q hold, but also we can decide which one holds. Thus just as mathematicians will assert that P only when they have decided that P by proving it, they may assert P Q P or decide (prove) that Q With this interpretation, however, mathematicians run into a serious problem in the special case where Q P , of P P is to show that P implies a contradiction (such as 0=1). But it will often be that mathematicians have neither decided that P P . To see this, we need only reflect on the following: Goldbach Conjecture which remains neither proved nor disproved despite the best efforts of many of the leading mathematicians since it was first raised in a letter from Goldbach to Euler in 1742. We are forced to conclude that, under the very natural interpretation of

8. Constructive Mathematics Most recently constructive mathematics has been put forward in a new and .. For this purpose Hilbert introduced a new Theory called Proof Theory, http://digitalphysics.org/Publications/Cal79/html/cmath.htm

Constructive Mathematics This approach is based on the belief that mathematics can have real meaning only if its concepts can be constructed by the human mind, an issue that has divided mathematicians for more than a century by Allan Calder It is commonly held that if human beings ever encounter another intelligent form of life in the universe, the two civilizations will share a basic mathematics that might well serve as a means of communication. In fact, since the time of Plato it has been generally believed that mathematics exists independently of man's knowledge of it and thus possesses a kind of absolute truth. The work of the mathematician, then, is to discover that truth. Not all mathematicians, however, have shared this belief in a "God-given" mathematics. For example, the 19th-century German mathematician Leopold Kronecker maintained that only counting was predetermined. "God made the integers," he wrote (to translate from the German). "All else is the work of man." From this point of view the work of the mathematician is not to discover mathematics but to invent it. Elements

ABOUT: Introduction History Related areas Subfields POINTERS: Texts Software Web links Selected topics here 03: Mathematical logic and foundations Introduction Mathematical Logic is the study of the processes used in mathematical deduction. The subject has origins in philosophy, and indeed it is only by nonmathematical argument that one can show the usual rules for inference and deduction (law of excluded middle; cut rule; etc.) are valid. It is also a legacy from philosophy that we can distinguish semantic reasoning ("what is true?") from syntactic reasoning ("what can be shown?"). The first leads to Model Theory, the second, to Proof Theory. Students encounter elementary (sentential) logic early in their mathematical training. This includes techniques using truth tables, symbolic logic with only "and", "or", and "not" in the language, and various equivalences among methods of proof (e.g. proof by contradiction is a proof of the contrapositive). This material includes somewhat deeper results such as the existence of disjunctive normal forms for statements. Also fairly straightforward is elementary first-order logic, which adds quantifiers ("for all" and "there exists") to the language. The corresponding normal form is prenex normal form. In second-order logic, the quantifiers are allowed to apply to relations and functions to subsets as well as elements of a set. (For example, the well-ordering axiom of the integers is a second-order statement). So how can we characterize the set of theorems for the theory? The theorems are defined in a purely procedural way, yet they should be related to those statements which are (semantically) "true", that is, statements which are valid in every model of those axioms. With a suitable (and reasonably natural) set of rules of inference, the two notions coincide for any theory in first-order logic: the Soundness Theorem assures that what is provable is true, and the Completeness Theorem assures that what is true is provable. It follows that the set of true first-order statements is effectively enumerable, and decidable: one can deduce in a finite number of steps whether or not such a statement follows from the axioms. So, for example, one could make a countable list of all statements which are true for all groups.

Read This! The MAA Online book review column Essays in Constructive Mathematics by Harold M. Edwards Reviewed by Bonnie Shulman As the Secret Master of MAA Reviews warned me when he asked me to review this book, it is NOT a book about the history/philosophy of mathematics, but rather a very serious book of mathematics. However, as the author makes clear in his preface, "history and philosophy were prominent among my motives for writing it" (p. ix). These essays are a walk down the road Kronecker opened, but most mainstream mathematicians bypassed in the late 19 th and early 20 th th century mathematics and his constructivist proclivities from his earlier books, especially Galois Theory (1984) and Advanced Calculus (1993). Last winter (2004) I taught a senior seminar on the History of the Proof, where we traced the evolution of Abel's proof of the insolvability of the quintic. We used Peter Pesic's book Abel's Proof for the history and philosophy and supplemented it with excerpts from other texts including Edwards' Galois Theory for more mathematical content. My (undergraduate) students found Edwards' writing telegraphic at best, and we spent the better part of two weeks decoding six pages of text and two problems.

Why chose CM at all? Why would a constructive approach interest people? ... References What is constructive mathematics? A general answer to this question is that constructive mathematics is mathematics which, at least in principle, can be implemented on a computer. There are at least two ways of developing mathematics constructively. In the first way one uses classical (that is, traditional) logic. Unfortunately, that logic allows us to prove theorems that no computer can implement, so in order to do things constructively, we have to work within a strict algorithmic framework such as recursive function theory [ ]. This can make the resulting mathematics appear rather hard to read and certainly different from normal analysis, algebra, or the like.

This is a file in the archives of the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy A B C D ... Z Constructive Mathematics Constructive mathematics is distinguished from its traditional counterpart, classical mathematics, by the strict interpretation of the phrase `there exists' as `we can construct'. In order to work constructively, we need to re-interpret not only the existential quantifier but all the logical connectives and quantifiers as instructions on how to construct a proof of the statement involving these logical expressions. Although certain individualsmost notably Kroneckerhad expressed disapproval of the `idealistic', nonconstructive methods used by some of their nineteenth century contemporaries, it is in the polemical writings of L.E.J. Brouwer (1881-1966), beginning with his Amsterdam doctoral thesis (Brouwer [1907]) and continuing over the next forty-seven years, that the foundations of a precise, systematic approach to constructive mathematics were laid. In Brouwer's philosophy, known as intuitionism , mathematics is a free creation of the human mind, and an object exists if and only if it can be (mentally) constructed.

Abstract: We investigate the relationship between constructive theory of metric spaces and synthetic topology. Connections between these are established by requiring a relationship to exist between the intrinsic and the metric topology of a space. We propose a non-classical axiom which has several desirable consequences, e.g., that all maps between separable metric spaces are continuous in the sense of metrics, and that, up to topological equivalence, a set can be equipped with at most one metric which makes it complete and separable.

Book Review for Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society Roy Dyckhoff University of St Andrews Practical Foundations of Mathematics , Paul Taylor, Cambridge Studies in Advanced Mathematics , CUP 1999, ISBN 0-521-63107-6, hardback, pp xi + 572. This is a fascinating and rewarding book, an ``account of the foundations of mathematics (algebra) and theoretical computer science, from a modern constructive viewpoint''. It is intended for ``students and teachers of computing, mathematics and philosophy''. Mathematicians are now rarely interested in the foundations of their subject, either because (they think) the foundations impinge little on their own specialisms, or because they appear too restrictive, or (even worse) because their justification seems to be philosophical rather than mathematical. For many, Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory (including a choice axiom, usually in the form of Zorn's lemma) seems to be adequate, with occasional appeals to a set/class distinction, the continuum hypothesis or large cardinal axioms if apparently required. The underlying logic should of course be classical, following Hilbert and his enthusiasm for Cantor's paradise rather than Brouwer and his allegedly obscurantist views. In particular, it has been argued by some and felt by many that constructive mathematics is too limitative: that the results are too weak and some of the proofs are too difficult. Several events led to the need for an alternative point of view. The shift began with the 1967 work of Bishop on constructive mathematics (especially on real analysis, later extended [

43. Reflections Feferman s primary contributions have been to Proof Theory, In 1967, Bishop s book Foundations of constructive mathematics created a stir by pioneering http://www-formal.stanford.edu/clt/Reflections/symposium.html

Reflections Symposium themes The symposium is centered around proof theoretically inspired foundational investigations that have been merging over the last decades with developments in set theory and recursion theory; however, they have sustained a special emphasis on broad philosophical issues. Feferman's primary contributions have been to proof theory, computation theory and, in more recent years, to an analysis of the development of mathematical logic in the twentieth century. Indeed, all of these matters are of intense interest in the current discussion concerning modern mathematical thought. The following paragraphs describe the main themes for the symposium. Proof theoretic ordinals Foundational reductions The use of (quantifier-free) transfinite induction along proof theoretic ordinals is motivated by an extension of Hilbert's program: to prove the consistency of classical theories for analysis with appropriate constructive constructive theories have a distinguished epistemological status. Formalization in restricted systems The attempt to establish the consistency of stronger and stronger classical theories was accompanied by the systematic development of analysis in weaker and weaker formal theories. In the late seventies, a real turning point was reached: all of classical analysis, as Takeuti showed, can be developed in a system that is conservative over elementary number theory. Feferman and Friedman obtained similarly sweeping results; that led to the investigation of which weaker systems were still sufficient for which parts of mathematics. This is part of a more systematic enterprise that was pushed along by Friedman and Simpson under the name

Constructive Algebra and Verification 5-10 january, 2003 Place The meeting took place in the Schloss Dagstuhl . It was the seminar Nº03021, and it has a web page in Dagstuhl . You'll find there a complete list of participants and a group picture. General Presentation The meeting was an attempt to bring together people from different communities: constructive algebra, computer algebra, designers and users of proof systems. Though the goals and interests are distinct, the meeting revealed that there is a strong core of common interests, the main one maybe the shared desire to understand in depth mathematics concepts in connections with algorithms and proofs. An interaction appears thus to be possible and fruitful. One outcome of this week was the decision to create a European group under the acronym MAP for "Mathematics, Algorithms, Proofs". As we said in our proposal: "If there is enough common interests and good interactions during the week, the Dagstuhl seminar could be the starting point of a european proposal on the same topic, with more ambitious goals." This is indeed what happened. Summary of the meeting Here are some common themes that emerged in the meeting on constructive algebra and verifications. There is no attempt to be exhaustive.

I first review the standard ways to validate this heuristic principle both in classical mathematics and in constructive mathematics with countable choice, and then indicate how this can be carried over to the choice-free way of doing completions put forward by Mulvey, Stolzenberg, Richman, et al. Moreover, I sketch how the crucial "at most one" hypothesis can be obtained, by invoking Brouwer's fan theorem or Goedel's Dialectica interpretation, from appropriate preconditions of a qualitative nature.

A traditional formalism allowing to express mathematics is set theory, built on top of first-order predicate logic. Unfortunately, this formalism does not address exactly the needs of a proof assistant. Set theory has been elaborated at the beginning of the XX th century to study mathematically the properties of mathematical reasoning. For this purpose, being able to formalize mathematics ``in principle'' was enough. Nowadays, the problem is not to formalize mathematics ``in principle'' but to formalize them ``in facts''. Thus, the design of proof assistants has led to ask new questions in logic and, in particular, in proof theory.

The HTML version on this page was translated from TeX using the the program T T H Constructivism is Difficult Eric Schechter In a recent issue of this M ONTHLY , Fred Richman [ ] discussed existence proofs. Richman's conclusion, as I understood it, was that once a mathematician sees the distinction between constructive and nonconstructive mathematics, he or she will choose the former. That conclusion, if extrapolated further than Professor Richman intended, suggests that any mathematician can learn constructivism easily if he or she so desires. But in fact constructivism is unusually difficult to learn. Learning most mathematical subjects merely involves adding to one's knowledge, but learning constructivism involves modifying all aspects of one's knowledge: theorems, methods of reasoning, technical vocabulary, and even the use of everyday words that do not seem technical, such as "or". I discuss, in the language of mainstream mathematicians, some of those modifications; perhaps newcomers to constructivism will not be so overwhelmed by it if they know what kinds of difficulties to expect. 1. INTRODUCTION.

56. Constructive Mathematics A constructive Proof of a theorem is, in particular, a Proof of that theorem. Every theorem in constructive mathematics can be understood as referring to http://www.math.fau.edu/Richman/HTML/CONSTRUC.HTM

Constructive Mathematics The constructive approach to mathematics has enjoyed a renaissance caused in large part by the appearance of Errett Bishop's book Foundations of constructive analysis in 1967, and by the subtle influences of the proliferation of powerful computers. Bishop demonstrated that pure mathematics can be developed from a constructive point of view while maintaining a continuity with classical terminology and spirit. Much more of classical mathematics was preserved than had been thought possible, and no classically false theorems resulted, as had been the case in other constructive schools such as intuitionism and Russian constructivism. The computers created a widespread awareness of the intuitive notion of an effective procedure, and of computation in principle, in addition to stimulating the study of constructive algebra for actual implementation, and from the point of view of recursive function theory. In analysis, constructive problems arise instantly because we start with the real numbers, and there is no finite procedure for deciding whether two given real numbers are equal (the real numbers are not discrete). The main thrust of constructive mathematics was in the direction of analysis, although several mathematicians, including Kronecker and van der Waerden, made important contributions to constructive algebra. Heyting, working in intuitionistic algebra, concentrated on issues raised by considering algebraic structures over the real numbers, and so developed a handmaiden of analysis rather than a theory of discrete algebraic structures. Paradoxically, it is in algebra where we are most likely to meet up with wildly nonconstructive arguments such as those that establish the existence of maximal ideals, and the existence of more than two automorphisms of the field of complex numbers.

Project Description PAUL BERNAYS: Philosopher of Mathematics Paul Bernays is arguably the greatest philosopher of mathematics in the twentieth century. His prominence in the field from the 1920's into the 1970's is widely acknowledged; but much of his work remains untranslated from the original German or (in one case) French. For this reason, neither the substance of his contribution to the development of twentieth century foundations of mathematics nor the positive insights he has brought to it are sufficiently well-known in the English speaking sphere. Our project is to prepare and publish a volume of English translations of his papers on the philosophy of mathematics. The originals were written in either German or French, with Bernays himself supplying an English translation in one case. Some of these papers have been collected and published in German under the title Abhandlungen zur Philosophie der Mathematik Bernays played a pivotal role in the discussion of foundations of mathematics in the twentieth century. As David Hilbert's assistant from 1917 into the 1930's, he was active in the development of the finitist conception of mathematics as the basis upon which the consistency of all of mathematics was to be proved; he was responsible for the writing of the two-volume Grundlagen der Mathematik , which expounds the results of the Hilbert school (and much other work) in foundations. But also, after the discovery in 1931 by Gödel of his incompleteness theorems, which signaled the failure of Hilbert's project in its original form, Bernays was a leader in the search for a new understanding of contemporary mathematics.

In the philosophy of mathematics constructivism asserts that it is necessary to find (or "construct") a mathematical object to prove that it exists. When one assumes that an object does not exist and derives a contradiction from that assumption , one still has not found the object and therefore not proved its existence, according to constructivists. See constructive proof Constructivism is often confused with intuitionism , but in fact, intuitionism is only one kind of constructivism. Intuitionism maintains that the foundations of mathematics lie in the individual mathematician's intuition, thereby making mathematics into an intrinsically subjective activity.

Bas Spitters' articles Constructive analysis, types and exact real numbers. (with Herman Geuvers Milad Niqui and Freek Wiedijk Constructive analysis, types and exact real numbers, special issue of Mathematical Structures in Computer Science (Bas Spitters, Herman Geuvers, Milad Niqui and Freek Wiedijk(eds.)) MSCS Volume 17, Issue 01, pp 3-36, 2007. doi:10.1017/S0960129506005834 pdf bib Abstract In the present paper, we will discuss various aspects of computable/constructive analysis, namely semantics, proofs and computations. We will present some of the problems and solutions of exact real arithmetic varying from concrete implementations, representation and algorithms to various models for real computation. We then put these models in a uniform framework using realisability, opening the door for the use of type theoretic and coalgebraic constructions both in computing and reasoning about these computations. We will indicate that it is often natural to use constructive logic to reason about these computations. Constructive Results on Operator Algebras Journal of Universal computation volume 11, issue 12
