The programming language Lean is “at the heart of the AI model training ecosystem,” explains @KSHartnett, author of THE PROOF IN THE CODE. Watch the whole conversation with his editor, Thomas Lin, at the Simons Foundation (@SimonsFdn): quantabooks.org/kevin-hartnett…

What are the technologies driving the AI revolution in math? @KSHartnett, author of THE PROOF IN THE CODE, draws illuminating parallels between computer programming and math proofs in a talk at the Simons Foundation (@SimonsFdn).

@KSHartnett's book THE PROOF IN THE CODE is a powerful guide to today’s “sociological transformation in math.” Watch his full conversation at the @SimonsFdn: quantabooks.org/kevin-hartnett… Order THE PROOF IN THE CODE: quantabooks.org/books/the-proo…

It’s the best math book I’ve read in years, the closest thing to capturing the magic of @JamesGleick’s Chaos. A true mathematical thriller! @KSHartnett

If you’re in the Philadelphia area on July 25, stop by the @QuantaBks booth at the International Congress of Mathematicians (#ICM2026) at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. Terry Tao will be signing bookplates from 11am to noon. Preorder his book here: quantabooks.org/books/six-math…

Lean started as a side project to catch bugs in Microsoft Word. It may end up deciding how we trust math written by AI. New episode w/ @KSHartnett on his book The Proof in the Code, out now from @QuantaBks — link to listen ⬇️open.substack.com/pub/breakingma…

More on the cutting edge of math, the possibilities of AI, and inroads into human-computer collaboration on The Quanta Podcast, where @KSHartnett discusses his new book, THE PROOF IN THE CODE. Tune in: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the… Order the book: quantabooks.org/books/the-proo…

With the programming language Lean, “math proofs can be written in a different way than they have been in millennia.” The future of truth may lie not on paper but in code.

The software package known as Lean — which can verify mathematical proofs — is bringing a major shift to the math world. But not everyone is sure it is good for the field. On this episode of The Quanta Podcast, author @KSHartnett talks about his new book, “The Proof in the Code,” from @QuantaBks and @fsgbooks . Tune in: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

Today is publication day for my first book, The Proof in the Code. Writing it—by hand on a futon mattress in an otherwise empty closet off my bedroom—has been the most fulfilling experience of my professional life. There are two things I'd say about it: 1. It's fundamentally a character-driven story about a handful of people who dared to envision a new way of doing mathematics. They devoted their lives to a long-shot quest, and ultimately succeeded. 2. I can still barely believe the perfect confluence between Lean and our AI moment. When @Leonard41111588 began developing @leanprover in 2013, AI was science fiction; today, Lean may be key to improving AI reasoning and to trusting the code it produces. ` I hope you all enjoy the book, and I look forward to hearing from anyone who picks it up—whether you love it or not.

Software like Lean, which allows mathematical proofs to be written and checked as computer code, could usher in a new, more collaborative era of problem solving. One of its most prominent supporters is mathematician Terence Tao. quantamagazine.org/how-terry-tao-…

In his new book, "The Proof in the Code: How a Truth Machine Is Transforming Math and AI," Kevin Hartnett (@KSHartnett) tells the definitive story of computer program Lean in an effort to answer a longstanding question: Can computers reveal universal truths?

“With marvelous clarity and narrative flair," acclaimed mathematician and author Steven Strogatz (@stevenstrogatz) declares, THE PROOF IN THE CODE “introduces us to ... the people reimagining what math can be.”
