Download or read book Machine Proofs In Geometry: Automated Production Of Readable Proofs For Geometry Theorems written by Jing-zhong Zhang and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1994-04-06 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reports recent major advances in automated reasoning in geometry. The authors have developed a method and implemented a computer program which, for the first time, produces short and readable proofs for hundreds of geometry theorems.The book begins with chapters introducing the method at an elementary level, which are accessible to high school students; latter chapters concentrate on the main theme: the algorithms and computer implementation of the method.This book brings researchers in artificial intelligence, computer science and mathematics to a new research frontier of automated geometry reasoning. In addition, it can be used as a supplementary geometry textbook for students, teachers and geometers. By presenting a systematic way of proving geometry theorems, it makes the learning and teaching of geometry easier and may change the way of geometry education.
