Type theory

History of type theory

The type theory was initially created to avoid paradoxes in a variety of formal logics and rewrite systems. Later, type theory referred to a class of formal systems, some of which can serve as alternatives to naive set theory as a foundation for all mathematics. It has been tied to formal mathematics since Principia Mathematica to today's proof assistants. (Wikipedia).

Group theory | Math History | NJ Wildberger

Here we give an introduction to the historical development of group theory, hopefully accessible even to those who have not studied group theory before, showing how in the 19th century the subject evolved from its origins in number theory and algebra to embracing a good part of geometry.

Andrej Bauer and Peter LeFanu Lumsdaine: Toward an initiality theorem for general type theories

The lecture was held within the framework of the Hausdorff Trimester Program: Types, Sets and Constructions. Abstract: I will report on a project of defining carefully and formally what a general type theory is. This is kind of step 1 to a generally applicable initiality theorem. It's not

Simple groups, Lie groups, and the search for symmetry I | Math History | NJ Wildberger

During the 19th century, group theory shifted from its origins in number theory and the theory of equations to describing symmetry in geometry. In this video we talk about the history of the search for simple groups, the role of symmetry in tesselations, both Euclidean, spherical and hyper
