- Actually, one system written in Mathematica can do proofs (printed in
- TeX of course). This system created by a couple of professors from
- Carnegie-Mellon can do the proof of the Wierstass continuous-nowhere
- differentiable function. All of the theorems from Chapter 2 of
- Ramanujan's collected works, properties of stereographic projections
- and on and on. The professors are Ed Clark and Xudong Zhao and they
- have an article in the current issue of the Mathematical Journal. I
- recommend it highly. A BA in analysis is not as far away as some might
- think.
