   Format: MarkdownItexMore than half of this list is devoted to listing various proof assistants and formalization projects. Does this topic really warrant such an oversized representation in an article with a generic title “mathematics”? Also, [[Categories and Sheaves]], [[Sheaves in Geometry and Logic]], [[Higher Topos Theory]] are good books, but do they really deserve such a prominent placement on top of the article? I suggest removing them. <a href="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/revision/diff/mathematics/42">diff</a>, <a href="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/revision/mathematics/42">v42</a>, <a href="https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/mathematics">current</a>
