Theorem Proving

Theorem proving is a method used in mathematics and computer science to establish the truth of mathematical statements or theories. It involves systematically checking if a statement can logically follow from a set of accepted principles or axioms. Think of it as a formal way to verify that an idea is consistent and valid, much like a detective gathering evidence to ensure a conclusion is correct. In artificial intelligence, theorem proving helps machines understand and apply logical reasoning, allowing them to solve complex problems or verify information in a structured way.
