Dear Isabelle Users

Thank you everyone who provided me with a feedback for this document.

I took into account all the suggestions and corrections, and the new version of the document is attached.

I plan to wait about two-three more weeks in case if someone would have more global suggestions, and then I plan to find someone to help me with polishing English.

I really hope such a Primer will be helpfull for beginners.

Sincerely,
Bogdan

Dear Isabelle Users

I have tried to write a short Primer aimed for mathematicians who would like to use Isabelle first time for formalization of mathematical results, but do not want to read a 218-page tutorial before formalizing the first simple lemma.

I have tried to concentrate on topics, which are especially useful for a beginner: main notations, search in Isabelle, sledgehammer, organization of blocks inside the proof, etc. More importantly, I have tried not just tell the reader ``how it works'', but tell how to learn Isabelle, looking at the existing theories. Also, instead of providing the reader with correct proofs immediately, I often start with intuitive, but incorrect versions, and describe how to correct the resulting errors.

The current version of the Primer is attached.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Sincerely,
Bogdan.
