Dependent Type Theory
Function Abstraction and Evaluation
There is a statement "...has nothing to do with the constant b
declared earlier." but there is no such declaration of b
. There is a b1
and a b2
back in Simple Type Theory.
Variables and Sections
When it is described how Lean automatically inserts variables that are used implicitly, is it worth mentioning anything about the order they are inserted?
Namespaces
It is noted that namespaces can be reopened. Perhaps worth mentioning that any definitions made after the namespace is reopened are added to the collection of definitions associated with the namespace.
Tactics
Basic Tactics
The tactics renameI
and admit
are not colour coded like other tactic names.
There is a statement "Here the rewrite
tactic, abbreviated rw
...". If rw
is replaced by rewrite
it is necessary to apply rfl
to complete the proof, so rw
is a little more than a simple abbreviation of rewrite
.
Interacting with Lean
Importing Files
I don't quite get the sentence "One can also specify imports relative to the current directory; for example,
Importing is transitive." How is transitivity of imports an example of import relative to the current directory?
Inductive Types
It is stated "The first character |
in an inductive declaration is optional. We can also separate constructors using a comma instead of |
." I am unable to either omit |
or use a comma. However, it does parse if where
is omitted (though where
is not optional for structure declarations).

Induction and Recursion
Structural Recursion and Induction
It is stated "Thus both of the following proofs of zero_add
work:". However, after the statement there is only one proof of zero_add
.
