An Experimental Comparison of Diagrammatic and Algebraic Logics
Abstract. We have developed a diagrammatic logic for theorem proving, focusing on the domain of metric-space analysis (a geometric domain, but traditionally taught using a dry alge...

Generating Readable Proofs: A Heuristic Approach to Theorem Proving With Spider Diagrams
An important aim of diagrammatic reasoning is to make it easier for people to create and understand logical arguments. We have worked on spider diagrams, which visually express log...
