PhD school at CIRM

The school covers two full weeks, from Monday April 7 (morning) till Friday April 18 (noon) 2014, and will be held at CIRM in Luminy, near Marseille, France.

Please register here if you are interested in participating.

This two week school is aimed as an intensive preparation and training for PhD students and master students who will participate to the IHP program, starting right after the two week school at the CIRM and running until mid July, 2014.

From 7 to 11 April 2014.

• A 6-hour intensive course on constructive mathematics and homotopy type theory by Thierry Coquand (Chalmers University, Gothenburg): principles of constructive mathematics, Curry-Howard correspondence, typed λ-calculi, Martin-Löf type theory, homotopy type theory, univalence axiom, proof-irrelevance.
• A 6-hour intensive course on formalization of mathematics in proof assistants by Assia Mahboubi (INRIA Saclay): introduction to the theoretical as well as the practical aspects of formalization, with illustrations on the proof assistant Coq.
• A 6-hour intensive course on computational interpretation of proofs and realizability by Alexandre Miquel (Universidad de la República, Montevideo): continuation-passing style translations, Kripke semantics, Kleene realizability, forcing and models of set-theory, Krivine classical realizability.
