Summary on Grant Application Form
The goal of this project is to produce a computer system that mathematicians can emply for creative assistance to reserach and educational tasks. This assistance will be in the form of suggested examples, concepts, conjectures and theorems in the domain under consideration. We propose to build on the existing HR system, which has a proven track record in making discoveries in mathematics, by adding new dimensions to its theory formation abilities. These new abilities include deductive and abductive automated reasoning processes, and the ability to work with the same mathematical objects (in the same representations) as those dealt with by computer algebra systems.
