Perhaps the lesson we should take from these pages is that the welfare state in England still allows wild scope for all kinds of rugged eccentrics.

* Metamath-a language for developing strictly formalized mathematical definitions and proofs accompanied by a proof checker for this language and a growing database of thousands of proved theorems ; while the Metamath language is not accompanied with an automated theorem prover, it can be regarded as important because the formal language behind it allows development of such a software ; as of March, 2012, there is no " widely " known such software, so it is not a subject of " automated theorem proving " ( it can become such a subject ), but it is a proof assistant.
