    How automated proofs could shift the focus of mathematics

    One commenter envisions largely automated formal proofs, with more attention going to new concepts and conjectures.

    TLDR

    One commenter argues that largely automated formal proofs would open a new era for mathematics, shifting attention toward concepts, abstractions, definitions and conjectures. Another argues that automating deduction and programming would benefit mathematics and computer science by helping people apply their tools to scientific, technological and societal problems. They predict a broader kind of applied mathematics will take center stage.

    Yi Ma@YiMaTweetsI have repeatedly advocated to my colleagues in the HKU School of Computing and to the public that automating deduction and programming are in fact great for both mathematics and computer science. We can now focus on using their concepts, methods, and tools for solving new scientific, technological, and societal problems and generate values more directly. Honestly, "Applied Mathematics" will likely take the center stage of mathematics in coming years, but not in the narrow traditional sense... For one, develop a new theoretical foundation and computational platform for Intelligence, Life, and beyond, as once mathematics did to Physics.43m
