Theorem Proving

The Wolfram Language performs theorem proving in many forms and many domains. Sometimes the theorem proving is an implicit part of other operations; sometimes it is explicit. For axiom systems specified using equational logic, the Wolfram Language includes state-of-the-art capabilities for generating full symbolic proof objects.
