Royal Society International Scientific Seminar

Computational Interpretations of Mathematical Theorems

25 and 26 November 2013

Aims and Scope

This two-day meeting brings together Mathematicians, Logicians and Computer Scientists with the aim of exploring novel connections between different research areas. The emphasis of the meeing is in the algorithmic content of mathematical proofs, an obvious point of intersection between Maths, Proof Theory and Computation.
