ABSTRACT
Abstract. We present a small project in which we encoded a proof of Arrow’s theorem – probably the most famous results in the economics field of social choice theory – in the computer using the Mizar system. We both discuss the details of this specific project, as well as describe the process of formalization (encoding proofs in the computer) in general. Keywords: formalization of mathematics, Mizar, social choice theory, Arrow’s theorem, Gibbard-Satterthwaite theorem, proof errors.
