Topic: Could `norm_num` be extended to handle division in `NNReal`?
Terence Tao (Jul 15 2025 at 18:21):
Currently it seems that norm_num only handles division in division rings, excluding in particular NNReal? In the following example, I needed an ad hoc application of a Mathlib lemma to close:
import Mathlib
example : 1/10 < (1:NNReal) := by
apply NNReal.div_lt_one_of_lt -- necessary because `norm_num` does not work immediately
norm_num
Tactics such as norm_cast, field_simp, and rify also did not work here.

#9915 fixes this and just needs review

bound seems to work:
import Mathlib
example : 1/10 < (1:NNReal) := by
bound
