Abstract
Interactive theorem provers (e g Coq, Isabelle, HOL4, PVS) have been widely used for various verification projects, where mechanised proofs have been written by humans and checked by computers When building such mechanised proofs, we often deploy a technique called "proof by reflection " or "proof by computation " In this talk, I will share my experience of certifying computational procedures in computer algebra and building proof tactics based on those verified procedures
