Building geometry solvers for the IMO Grand Challenge

Synthetic geometry lies at the intersection of human intuition—insights arising from our core knowledge priors of shape, symmetry, distance, and motion—and formal proof: for two millenia, the treatment of geometry in Euclid’s Elements has exemplified the axiomatic method in mathematics.

Building geometry solvers for the IMO Grand Challenge Building geometry solvers for the IMO Grand Challenge (Dated: Sep 15 2020) Synthetic geometry lies at the intersection of human intuition -insights arising from our core knowledge priors of shape, symmetry, distance, and motion-and formal proof : for two millenia, the treatment of geometry in Euclid's Elements has exemplified the axiomatic method in mathematics. While not actively researched in contemporary mathematics, synthetic geometry survives today in the form of olympiad geometry problems posed in contests like the International Mathe
