Theorema 2.0: A Graphical User Interface for a Mathematical Assistant System
This work provides a more accessible interface for users of the Theorema system, but it is incremental as it builds on existing Mathematica capabilities.
The authors tackled the problem of improving user interaction with the Theorema mathematical assistant system by developing a graphical user interface (GUI) prototype, resulting in a modern interface integrated into Mathematica with dynamic interactive elements.
Theorema 2.0 stands for a re-design including a complete re-implementation of the Theorema system, which was originally designed, developed, and implemented by Bruno Buchberger and his Theorema group at RISC. In this paper, we present the first prototype of a graphical user interface (GUI) for the new system. It heavily relies on powerful interactive capabilities introduced in recent releases of the underlying Mathematica system, most importantly the possibility of having dynamic objects connected to interface elements like sliders, menus, check-boxes, radio-buttons and the like. All these features are fully integrated into the Mathematica programming environment and allow the implementation of a modern user interface.
