Abstract

We present a formalization of the axiomatic set theory ZF which reflects real mathematical practice, and is easy for mechanical manipulation and interactive theorem proving. Unlike the standard first-order formalizations, our version provides a rich class of abstraction terms denoting sets on the one hand, and is based on purely syntactical (rather than semantic) considerations on the other hand.
