Proving mathematical theorems might seem to be mainly of academic interest. However, many practical problems can be cast in terms of theorems. A general theorem prover can therefore be widely applicable.

Examples:

• Automatic construction of compiler code generators from a description of a CPU's instruction set.
• J Moore and colleagues proved correctness of the floating-point division algorithm on AMD CPU chip.
