Re: [TYPES] How to code interesting examples in λC

[ The Types Forum, http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/types-list ]

Hi Beta,

For my proving with Computer Assistance course I let the students do 
higher order logic exercises in the Calculus of Constructions.
Define Leibniz equality and prove properties, define the transitive 
closure and prove properties etc.
See http://www.cs.ru.nl/~herman/onderwijs/provingwithCA/exercises10.pdf

Best
