Abstract
Abstract: This paper investigates the semantics of mathematical concepts in a type theoretic framework with coercive subtyping. The type-theoretic analysis provides a formal semantic basis in the design and implementation of Mathematical Vernacular (MV), a natural language suitable for interactive development of mathematics with the support of the current theorem provingtec hnology. The idea of semantic well-formedness in mathematical language is motivated with examples. A formal system based on a notion of conceptual category is then presented, showing how type checking supports our notion of well-formedness. The power of this system is then extended by incorporating a notion of subcategory, using ideas from a more general theory of coercive subtyping, which provides the mechanisms for modelling conventional abbreviations in mathematics. Finally, we outline how this formal work can be used in an implementation of MV.
