Design of a Language for Verified Scientific Computing

Student: Ilya Grigorev

Educational Programme: Applied Mathematics and Information Science (Bachelor)

Year of Graduation: 2024

We propose Sanskrit, a new programming language, with unique type system with dependent types specifically designed to write verified scientific computing algorithms. With its type theoretical foundation rooted in Observational Type Theory, Sanskrit aims to make accurate and reliable algorithms. We will present a comprehensive analysis of the language’s design and it’s underlying theoretical framework (MLTT). We further emphasize how the proposed language addresses the current needs and challenges in the realm of verified scientific computing.
