    Bridging the gap between argumentation theory and the philosophy of mathematics
    with Alison Pease, Alan Smaill, and Simon Colton
    Foundations of Science 14 (1-2): 111-135. 2009.
    We argue that there are mutually beneficial connections to be made between ideas in argumentation theory and the philosophy of mathematics, and that these connections can be suggested via the process of producing computational models of theories in these domains. We discuss Lakatos’s work (Proofs and Refutations, 1976) in which he championed the informal nature of mathematics, and our computational representation of his theory. In particular, we outline our representation of Cauchy’s proof of Eu…Read more
