My first book is out this week, The Proof in the Code. Two notes: 1. It's a character-driven story about people who dared to envision a new way of doing mathematics. 2. I can still barely believe the perfect confluence between Lean and our AI moment. www.quantabooks.org/books/the-pr...

The inside story of Lean, a computer program that answers the age-old question: How do you know if something is true?

Excited to announce that my book, "The Proof in the Code," will be the first title from @quantabooks.bsky.social, a new collaboration between @simonsfoundation.org and @fsgbooks.bsky.social. Coming in Spring 2026, it's the story of how Lean is transforming math (and influencing AI via RL).
