mathesis 0.5.1

Formal logic library in Python for humans

Mathesis

Mathesis is a human-friendly Python library for computational formal logic (including mathematical, symbolic, philosophical logic), formal semantics, and theorem proving. It is particularly well-suited for:

• Students learning logic and educators teaching it
• Researchers in fields like logic, philosophy, linguistics, computer science, and many others

Documentation: https://mathesis.readthedocs.io/

Installation

pip install mathesis

Key features

• Interactive theorem proving for humans (proof assistant)
• Automated reasoning (theorem prover)
• Define models and check validity of inferences in the models
• JupyterLab/Jupyter Notebook support
• Output formulas/proofs in LaTeX
• Customizable ASCII/Unicode syntax (like A -> B, A → B, A ⊃ B for the conditional)
