Topic: Dependent Type Theory with Lean
DSB (Jan 28 2025 at 17:45):
Friends, is there a book or some robust notes on formal Dependent Type Theory (DTT) which uses Lean?
I've been reading the "Theorem Proving in Lean 4", but there is only a small section on DTT.
I've also read the first two chapter of "Type Theory and Formal Proof", but the lack of "code examples" makes the exposition very dry.

Is https://browncs1951x.github.io/static/files/hitchhikersguide.pdf to your taste?

Thanks! This looks very good.

If you find the hitchhikers guide assumes too much prior knowledge, Type Theory and Formal Proof gets to explaining dependent types/the calculus of constructions half-way through the book, and then the rest of the book is putting the first half to work to prove a particular theorem from the ground-up.
