A Decision Method for Elementary Algebra and Geometry

Open access
Tarski, Alfred·1998·Texts and Monographs in Symbolic Computation

Abstract

By a decision method for a class K of sentence (or other expressions) is meant a method by means of which, given any sentence θ, one can always decide in a finite number of steps whether θ is in K; by a decision problem for a class K we mean the problem of finding a decision method for K. A decision method must be like a recipe, which tells one what to do at each steps so that no intelligence is required to follow it; and the method can be applied by anyone so long as he is able to read and follow directions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
