Abstract
The previous chapters show that the Calculus of Constructions is powerful enough as a type system for the representation of logical formulas and theorems. Interpreting types as formulas and terms as proofs works well and makes it possible to reduce the problem of verifying formal proofs to the problem of verifying that some terms are well-typed. This chapter takes a more pragmatic point of view and shows how we can use tactics to make the logical reasoning easier.
