This textbook-like tutorial is a self-contained introduction to interactive proof, specification, and verification in higher-order logic, using the proof assistant Isabelle 2002. In contrast to existing Isabelle documentation, this book provides a direct route into higher-order logic by bypassing first-order logic and minimizing discussion of meta-theory. Isabelle is a generic system for implementing logical formalisms, and Isabelle/HOL is the specialization of Isabelle for higher-order logic; this theorem prover is well suited as a specification and verification system.

Isabelle is wonderful,

This review is from: Isabelle/HOL: A Proof Assistant for Higher-Order Logic (Lecture Notes in Computer Science) (Paperback)
Isabelle is fantastic, and this is an excellent tutorial.
With Isabelle, all the mystery of math and proof goes away and everything becomes concrete... just like programming. The only improvement that I'd like to see is that the tutorial be rewritten using the Isar proof language.
