3. Calculemus RISC THEOREMA RISC: Research Institute for Symbolic Computation Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria Founded in 1987 by B. Buchberger THEOREMA: A project at RISC on formal mathematics (computer-supported proving, solving, computing) Project leader: B. Buchberger

4. Calculemus RISC THEOREMA The Goal of RISC: research education application in symbolic computation. The YVR program is integrated into RISC education.

5. Calculemus RISC THEOREMA Education at RISC: permanently ~ 25 international PhD students emphasis on basic research educate also in research management (e.g. J of SC, e.g. int’l conferences) educate also in application management (e.g. Softwarepark Hagenberg, a RISC spin-off,  possibilities for internship  RISC graduates now founded SWpark in Romania!)

6. Calculemus RISC THEOREMA THEOREMA Group: Senior researchers: B. Buchberger, T. Jebelean, W. Windsteiger Postdocs: Temur Kutsia, Koji Nakagawa, Mircea Marin, Judit Robu PhD students: Florina Piroi, Markus Rosenkranz, Adrian Craciun, Laura Kovacs, Nikolaj Popov, Gabor Kusper Socrates students: Cornel Izbasa, Diana Dubu, Sorin Cira, Camelia Kocsis

7. Calculemus RISC THEOREMA THEOREMA involvements in EU-Programs: Calculemus TMR OpenMath Thematic Net MKM (Mathematical Knowledge Management) Thematic Net Socrates

8. Calculemus RISC THEOREMA THEOREMA tasks within Calculemus: Task leader for Task 2.2: Enhance Computer Algebra Systems by Reasoning Power Task leader in Task 3.1: Case Studies in Writing Mathematical Publications Participation in Task 1.2: Definition of Mathematical Services Participation in Task 3.3: Application to Undergraduate Exams

9. Calculemus RISC THEOREMA THEOREMA cooperation with other groups: U of Karlsruhe 2.2 U of Bialystok 3.1 U of Edinburgh 2.2 U of Genova 2.2 U of Saarbrücken 3.1 U of Bialystok: 3.1

10. Calculemus RISC THEOREMA Task 2.2: Enhance Computer Algebra Systems by Reasoning Power Participants: THEOREMA, U of Karlsruhe, U of Edinburgh, (U of Genova) Current computer algebra systems: solving and computing Future math systems: proving, solving, and computing THEOREMA was chosen as a prototype for this task (the entire functionality of Mathematica is preserved and powerful proving functionality is added) External links to other proving systems are possible

11. Calculemus RISC THEOREMA Task 3.1: Case Studies in Writing Mathematical Publications Participants: THEOREMA, U of Bialystok, U of Saarbrücken U of Bialystok: MIZAR library is currently the most extensive verified math knowledge base (J of Formalized Mathematics) Within THEOREMA: Lecture notes on predicate logic as a working language Lecture notes on algorithmic methods in math All publications on THEOREMA were written within THEOREMA U of Saarbrücken: OmDoc language for describing semantics and structure of mathematical documents on the web

12. Calculemus RISC THEOREMA Participation in Task 1.2: Definition of Mathematical Services RISC Contribution: MathBroker architecture for interchange of mathematical content over the web (Olga Caprotti and Wolfgang Schreiner)

13. Calculemus RISC THEOREMA Participation in Task 3.3: Application to Undergraduate Exams RISC Contribution: Using Theorema in math courses at the U of Linz

14. Calculemus RISC THEOREMA The Ultimate Scientific Goal of Calculemus (and THEOREMA): Automate the management of mathematical knowledge (not only methods!): invention verification re-use (over the web) Why? Efficiency (of spending funds) ! Calculemus  Math / CS  Applications Europe is leading !

21. Calculemus RISC THEOREMA Socrates students in THEOREMA: Cornel Izbasa (U of Timisoara, Romania): Oct 2001 - March 2002, work with W. Windsteiger on the kernel of the Theorema system Diana Dubu (U of Timisoara, Romania): Oct 2001 – March 2002, work with T. Jebelean on predicate proving in natural style Sorin Cira (U of Timisoara, Romania): Oct 2002 - June 2003, work with B. Buchberger on developing a mathematical knowledge base for Hilbert spaces theory Camelia Kocsis (U Cluj-Napoca, Romania): Feb 2003 - June 2003, work with B.

22. Calculemus RISC THEOREMA Practical problems with YVR program: Conditions for candidates are too restrictive age limits (example: Judit Robu) countries (examples: K. Nakagawa - Japan, T. Kutsia - Georgia) too long stay in Austria (example Florina Piroi) Rates come many months too late we cannot hire people taking a financial risk
