<h2>What is Isabelle?</h2>
|
|
|
18 |
<p>
|
|
|
19 |
Isabelle is a popular generic theorem proving environment
|
|
|
20 |
developed at Cambridge University (<a
|
|
|
21 |
href="http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/users/lcp/">Larry Paulson</a>)
|
|
|
22 |
and TU Munich (<a href="http://www.in.tum.de/~nipkow/">Tobias
|
|
|
23 |
Nipkow</a>). See the <a href="overview.html">Isabelle
|
|
|
