Overview
- Serves as a festschrift for the internationally leading DReaM Group (Discovery and Reasoning in Mathematics), founded and led by Alan Bundy, at the University of Edinburgh, from 1971 to the present
- Reflects the diversity of approaches to the representation of and reasoning with knowledge by the DReaM Group, including: deduction; meta-level reasoning; learning, especially of new reasoning methods; representation creation and change; as well as applications to problems as diverse as formal verification, analogical blending and computational creativity
- Chapters are presented in a rough chronological order of the authors’ first engagements with the DReaM Group, beginning with a substantial overview by Alan Bundy, and continuing with complementary contextualisation by J Strother Moore and Toby Walsh

About this book
This collection of essays examines the key achievements and likely developments in the area of automated reasoning. In keeping with the group ethos, Automated Reasoning is interpreted liberally, spanning underpinning theory, tools for reasoning, argumentation, explanation, computational creativity, and pedagogy. Wider applications including secure and trustworthy software, and health care and emergency management. The book starts with a technically oriented history of the Edinburgh Automated Reasoning Group, written by Alan Bundy, which is followed by chapters from leading researchers associated with the group.
Mathematical Reasoning: The History and Impact of the DReaM Group will attract considerable interest from researchers and practitioners of Automated Reasoning, including postgraduates. It should also be of interest to those researching the history of AI.
