[mizar] 40 years of Mizar



Dear All,

Today we celebrate 40 years since Mizar was born. This is of course a strictly symbolic date, because the idea must had grown in Andrzej's mind for some time before. However we have a good reason to associate the formal beginning of Mizar with that date:

(...)The first presentation of the Mizar ideology understood here as visionary speculation was presented by Andrzej [Trybulec] on November 14, 1973 at a seminar in the Institute of Library Science and Scientific Information at Warsaw University(...)

More information on the early Mizar history can be found in P. Rudnicki and R. Matuszewski's "Mizar: the first 30 years": (http://markun.cs.shinshu-u.ac.jp/mizar/mma.dir/2005/mma2005%282%29.pdf).

I guess the best way to celebrate 40 years of Mizar would be if we received at least 40 new Mizar articles for the Mizar Mathematical Library this year :-)

Best regards,

Adam Naumowicz
