Formalizing 100 Theorems
There is a "top 100" of mathematical theorems on the web,
which is a rather arbitrary list (and most of the theorems seem rather
elementary), but still is nice to look at.
On the current page I keep track of which theorems from this list
have been formalized.
Currently the fraction that already has been formalized seems to be
99%
The page does not keep track of all formalizations of these theorems.
It just shows formalizations in systems that have formalized a significant number of theorems,
or that have formalized a theorem that none of the others have done.
The systems that this page refers to are (in order of the number of
theorems that have been formalized, so the more
interesting systems for mathematics are near the top):
Theorems in the list which have not been formalized yet
are in italics.
Formalizations of constructive proofs are in italics too.
The difficult proofs in the list (according to John all the others
are not a serious challenge "given a week or two") have been underlined.
The formalizations under a theorem are in the order of the list of systems,
and not in chronological order.
