Who Can Understand the Proof? A Window on Formalized Mathematics

The Simplest Axiom for Logic Theorem (Wolfram with Mathematica, 2000): The single axiom ((a•b)•c)•(a•((a•c)•a))c is a complete axiom system for Boolean algebra (and is the simplest possible) For more than a century people had wondered how simple the axioms of logic (Boolean algebra) could be. On January 29, 2000, I found the answer—and made the surprising discovery that they could be about twice as simple as anyone knew. (I also showed that what I found was the simplest possible.) It was an int...
