How To Install libcoq-mathcomp on Debian 12
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install libcoq-mathcomp
on Debian 12.
What is libcoq-mathcomp
libcoq-mathcomp is:
The Mathematical Components Library is an extensive and coherent repository of formalized mathematical theories. It is based on the Coq proof assistant, powered with the Coq/SSReflect language.
These formal theories cover a wide spectrum of topics, ranging from the formal theory of general-purpose data structures like lists, prime numbers or finite graphs, to advanced topics in algebra.
The formalization technique adopted in the library, called “small scale reflection”, leverages the higher-order nature of Coq’s underlying logic to provide effective automation for many small, clerical proof steps. This is often accomplished by restating (“reflecting”) problems in a more concrete form, hence the name. For example, arithmetic comparison is not an abstract predicate, but rather a function computing a Boolean.
This package installs the full Mathematical Components library.
