History of Mathematics
Type theory is a framework in mathematical logic that classifies entities into different types to avoid paradoxes and inconsistencies, establishing rules for how these types interact. This system allows for more precise formulations of mathematical statements and proofs by defining operations on specific data types, thus enhancing the understanding of logic and computation. Type theory plays a crucial role in modern programming languages and formal verification, influencing both mathematics and computer science.
