Hello,
I am having difficulty proving the following:
lemma "(1::real) * (1::real) = (1::real)";
lemma "(1::real) / (1::real) = (1::real)";
The "arith" tactic does not support multiplication, as
explained in previous messages. What is the recommended
approach to reasoning about multiplication of reals? I've
just begun to incorporate the theory of real numbers into my
work, so explicit proof steps would be especially helpful.
Thank you,
Justin S. Davis

Use "auto" or "simp" to perform constant folding.
We aren't especially geared up for real literals, but you can perform
simple arithmetic on fixed-point constants as shown in this example:
lemma "3/10 + 70/100 = (x::real)"
apply (simp add: Ring_and_Field.add_frac_eq)
This simplifies to "x=1".
