15-317 Constructive Logic
Lecture 13: Arithmetic

In this lecture we introduce first-order intuitionistic arithmetic (also called Heyting arithmetic), which is based on the schemas of primitive recursion and induction from the previous lecture, but also includes equality on natural numbers and the previously introduced quantifiers. We go through several example proofs and their formalization.
