This is the first treatment in book format of proof-theoretic
transformations - known as proof interpretations - that focuses
on applications to ordinary mathematics. It covers both the
necessary logical machinery behind the proof interpretations that
are used in recent applications as well as – via extended case
studies – carrying out some of these applications in full detail.
This subject has historical roots in the 1950s. This book for the
first time tells the whole story.
