+ Matita is a new document-centric interactive theorem prover that - integrates several Mathematical Knowledge - Management tools and techniques.
++ Matita (that means pencil in italian) is an experimental, + interactive theorem prover under development at the + Computer Science Department of the + University of Bologna. +

- Matita is traditional. Its logical foundation is the
- Calculus of (Co)Inductive Constructions (CIC). It can re-use
- mathematical concepts produced by other proof assistants like
- Coq and encoded in an
- XML encoding of CIC. The interaction
- paradigm of Matita is familiar, being inspired by CtCoq and
- Proof General. Its
- proof language is procedural in the same spirit of LCF.
Matita is innovative:
