- Abstract: We present a formalization of higher-order logic in the Isabelle proof assistant, building directly on the foundational framework Isabelle/Pure and developed to be as small and readable as possible. It should therefore serve as a good introduction for someone looking into learning about higher-order logic and proof assistants, without having to study the much more complex Isabelle/HOL with heavier automation. To showcase our development and approach we explain a sample proof, describe the axioms and rules of our higher-order logic, and discuss our experience with teaching the subject in a classroom setting.

Recently developed large language models (LLMs) have been shown to perform remarkably well on a wide range of language understanding tasks.
But, can they really "reason" over the natural language?
This question has been receiving significant research attention and many reasoning skills such as commonsense, numerical, and qualitative have been studied.
