  13. E is a theorem prover for full first-order logic with equality. It
  14. accepts a problem specification, typically consisting of a number of
  15. first-order clauses or formulas, and a conjecture, again either in
  16. clausal or full first-order form. The system will then try to find a
  17. formal proof for the conjecture, assuming the axioms.
  18. If a proof is found, the system can provide a detailed list of proof
  19. steps that can be individually verified. If the conjecture is
  20. existential (i.e. it’s of the form “there exists an X with property
  21. P”), the latest versions can also provide possible answers (values for
  22. X).
  23. Development of E started as part of the E-SETHEO project at TUM. The
  24. first public release was in in 1998, and the system has been
  25. continuously improved ever since. I believe that E now is one of the
  26. most powerful and friendly reasoning systems for first-order
  27. logic. The prover has successfully participated in many competitions.
