Isabelle/HOL

This volume is a self-contained introduction to interactive proof in high- order logic (HOL), using the proof assistant Isabelle 2002. – The second part, Logic and Sets, presents a collection of lower-level tactics that you can use to apply rules selectively. This textbook-like tutorial is a self-contained introduction to interactive proof, specification, and verification in higher-order logic, using the proof assistant Isabelle 2002. In contrast to existing Isabelle documentation, this book provides a direct route into higher-order logic by bypassing first-order logic and minimizing discussion of meta-theory.Isabelle is a generic system for implementing logical formalisms, and Isabelle/HOL is the specialization of Isabelle for higher-order logic; this theorem prover is well suited as a specification and verification system.
