Thirty Five Years of Automating Mathematics

Part of the book series: Applied Logic Series ((APLS,volume 28))

Abstract

The paper is a survey of the material presented in previous more elaborate publications ([de Bruijn, 1994; de Bruijn, 1996; de Bruijn, 1999]). It displays a set of ideas on models and metaphors that try to assist in filling the big gap between mind and matter.
