- <H4>Introduction</H4>
- <P>The <B>GeoProver</B> (formerly GEOMETRY) is a small package for mechanized
- (plane) geometry manipulations with non degeneracy tracing, available for
- different CAS platforms (Maple, MuPAD, Mathematica, and Reduce).</P>
- <P>It provides the casual user with a couple of procedures that allow him/her to
- mechanize his/her own geometry proofs. Version 1.1 grew out from a course of
- lectures for students of computer science on this topic held by the author at
- the Univ. of Leipzig in fall 1996 and was updated after a similar lecture in
- spring 1998. </P>
- <P>The (completely revised) version 1.2, finished in March 2002, was set up as a
- generic software project to manage the code for different platforms in a unified
- way. Even most of the function names changed due to more concise naming
- conventions. There is a close relationship to the SymbolicData project (see <A
- href="http://www.symbolicdata.org/">http://www.symbolicdata.org/</A>). </P>
- <P>For examples we refer to the SymbolicData GEO table that contains many proof
- schemes of geometry theorems, mainly from Chou's book, and an interface from
- SymbolicData to the GeoProver.</P>
- <P>Comments, bug reports, hints, wishes, criticisms etc. are welcome. Please
- send them to the author.</P>

- <H4>Acknowledgements</H4>
- <P>Malte Witte translated the code of version 1.1 from Reduce to Maple, MuPAD,
- and Mathematica and filled the SymbolicData GEO table with many examples from
- mechanized geometry theorem proving, mainly from Chou's book.</P>
- <P>Benjamin Friedrich collected examples and solutions with geometric background
- from IMO contests.</P>
- <H4>Upgrade Information</H4>Proof schemes from Version 1.1 require an upgrade.
- There is a perl script <TT>changeFiles.pl</TT> to support this upgrade.
