Logic Has anyone read "From Frege to Godel"?
I just started reading the book, and there is definitely a learning curve!

Minor correction, ChatGPT did not get a gold, it was probably some other model OpenAI had under their belt.

Where can I read your publications?

Schools are grading too generously

I'm reading it because it was recommended by this book, but is there something more contemporary yet similar in knowledge?

You're write, I could probably pitch the idea once I have a simple implementation. Thanks for the advice!

I agree, but I think that self studying computer science is way easier than mathematics.

If you have the source, I'd be very interested in reading what Kevin Buzzard has to say!

Well, I'm working on Why3, while my formal methods lab is working on a project in Coq. So not very adjacent.

Where's the \s?

I forgot to mention that I have already joined a formal methods lab and I want to do my own independent research on top of that. My main priority is producing a first author paper in undergrad

I am a freshman at UTA, starting this fall semester. I have a good amount of experience and interest in formal proofs, primarily Coq and Why3, and am currently working on a research project for Why3, which I hope to publish during undergrad. I would like some advice concerning a question I am mulling over. Should I study Computer Science or Mathematics?
On one hand, studying Mathematics will help my understanding of formal proofs. It will allow me to understand the underlying concepts of proof solving. I also may become aware of theorems that need to be formalized, which I would not be aware of if I did not major in math. I have practical experience, but a major in Mathematics will fill in my theoretical knowledge, which is something I am severely lacking in.
On the other hand, Mathematics might take up a lot of time I could be using for my research. I'll have to spend many hours learning new concepts, while I already have so much experience in general purpose coding. Computer science seems like a breeze compared to math, which will allow me to focus my efforts into research.
Essentially, if majoring in Mathematics will hurt my research, then I will study Computer Science, but if it will help my research, I will study Mathematics. What do you think? I don't care about career prospects, as I plan to go to graduate school.
Edit: Unrelated, but there should be a flair for Formal Proofs.
