Topic: Beyond Freek Wiedijk's 100 theorem

This is perhaps an open-ended question, but the "100 theorems" here: https://www.cs.ru.nl/~freek/100/ have pretty much all been formalized (the sole exception is Fermat's last theorem, which I've heard is quite involved :upside_down: ).

Does anyone know of any effort aimed at making a successor to this list?

There have been some discussions on the Lean zulipchat, where Knill's list appears to be the one that fits the expectation of many of the Lean users (i.e., working mathematicians).

thanks for the pointer, this is a nice list indeed

I went through the list and I believe we have roughly 57 of these 172 theorems. Perhaps a few more.

do you mean 272? (I also see the number 172 in the Lean zulip and I'm wondering where that comes from... maybe it includes the original 100 as a subset?)

I used the YAML that one of the Lean people created from the PDF.

I didn't check whether it matches the PDF.

There's some overlap between the YAML and the 100 Theorems list, so I don't think it's a subset.

ah, it looks like the 172 was an old number and the pdf was indeed updated to have 272 theorems now

I see.
