Abstract
This paper describes part of the formalization of Hilbert’s Grundlagen der Geometrie in the higher order logic of Isabelle/Isar, an extension of the interactive theorem prover Isabelle. Many mechanized proofs and formalization issues are discussed and the work is compared against Hilbert’s prose and also other research in the field.
