    Summary: The goal of this article is to formalize some theorems that are in the \cite{Freek-100-theorems} on the web. These are elementary theorems included in every handbook of Euclidean geometry and trigonometry: the law of cosines, the Heron's formula, the isosceles triangle theorem, the intersecting chords theorem and the Ptolemy's theorem.

    Summary: In the \cite{INT_3.ABS}, it had been proven that the Integers modulo $p$, in this article we shall refer as ${\mathbb Z}/p{\mathbb Z}$, constitutes a field if and only if $p$ is a prime. Then the prime modulo ${\mathbb Z}/p{\mathbb Z}$ is an additive cyclic group and ${\mathbb Z}/p{{\mathbb Z}^\ast}={\mathbb Z}/p{\mathbb Z}\setminus\{0\}$ is a multiplicative cyclic group, too. The former has been proven in the \cite{GR_CY_1.ABS}. However, the latter had not been proven yet. In this article, first, we prove a theorem concerning the LCM to prove the existence of primitive elements of ${\mathbb Z}/p^{\ast}$. Moreover we prove the uniqueness of factoring an integer. Next we define the multiplicative group ${\mathbb Z}/p{{\mathbb Z}^\ast}$ and prove it is cyclic.

    Summary: In this article three classes of ideals are discussed: associative ideals, commutative ideals, implicative ideals and positive implicative ideals, and their elementary properties. Some of their properties and the relationships between them have not been proven yet, and will be completed in the following article.

  12. Grzegorz Bancerek. Mizar Analysis of Algorithms: Algorithms over Integers, Formalized Mathematics 16(2), pages 177-194, 2008. MML Identifier: AOFA_I00
    Summary: This paper is a continuation of \cite{AOFA_000.ABS} and concerns if-while algebras over integers. In these algebras the only elementary instructions are assignment instructions. The instruction assigns to a (program) variable a value which is calculated for the current state according to some arithmetic expression. The expression may include variables, constants, and a limited number of arithmetic operations. States are functions from a given set of locations into integers. A variable is a function from the states into the locations and an expression is a function from the states into integers. Additional conditions (computability) limit the set of variables and expressions and, simultaneously, allow to write algorithms in a natural way (and to prove their correctness).\par As examples the proofs of full correctness of two Euclid algorithms (with modulo operation and subtraction) and algorithm of exponentiation by squaring are given.

    Summary: In this paper the theory of invertibility of matrices of field elements (see e.g. \cite{Furuya:57}, \cite{Gantmacher:59}) is developed. The main purpose of this article is to prove that the left invertibility and the right invertibility are equivalent for a matrix of field elements. To prove this, we introduced a special transformation of matrix to some canonical forms. Other concepts as zero vector and base vectors of field elements are also introduced as a preparation.
  14. Marco Riccardi. Ramsey's Theorem, Formalized Mathematics 16(2), pages 203-205, 2008. MML Identifier: RAMSEY_1
    Summary: The goal of this article is to formalize two versions of Ramsey's theorem. The theorems are not phrased in the usually pictorial representation of a coloured graph but use a set-theoretic terminology. After some useful lemma, the second section presents a generalization of Ramsey's theorem on infinite set closely following the book \cite{ThomasJech2002}. The last section includes the formalization of the theorem in a more known version (see \cite{PFTB}).
  15. Grzegorz Bancerek. Towards the Construction of a Model of {M}izar Concepts, Formalized Mathematics 16(2), pages 207-230, 2008. MML Identifier: ABCMIZ_1
    Summary: The aim of this paper is to develop a formal theory of Mizar linguistic concepts following the ideas from \cite{Bancerek:2003} and \cite{ABCMIZ_0.ABS}. The theory here presented is an abstract of the existing implementation of the Mizar system and is devoted to the formalization of Mizar expressions. The base idea behind the formalization is dependence on variables which is determined by variable-dependence (variables may depend on other variables). The dependence constitutes a Galois connection between opposite poset of dependence-closed set of variables and the sup-semilattice of widening of Mizar types (smooth type widening).\par In the paper the concepts strictly connected with Mizar expressions are formalized. Among them are quasi-loci, quasi-terms, quasi-adjectives, and quasi-types. The structural induction and operation of substitution are also introduced. The prefix {\it quasi} is used to indicate that some rules of construction of Mizar expressions may not be fulfilled. For example, variables, quasi-loci, and quasi-terms have no assigned types and, in result, there is no possibility to conduct type-checking of arguments. The other gaps concern inconsistent and out-of-context clusters of adjectives in types. Those rules are required in the Mizar {\it identification} process. However, the expression appearing in later processes of Mizar checker may not satisfy the rules. So, introduced apparatus is enough and adequate to describe data structures and algorithms from the Mizar checker (like {\it equational classes}).
