Prolog, a Technological Approach to Teaching: The Case of Mathematics and Problem Solving
Laurent Cervoni; Julien Brasseur
International Association for Development of the Information Society, Paper presented at the International Association for Development of the Information Society (IADIS) International Conferences on Educational Technologies (ICEduTech), Sustainability, Technology and Education (STE), Internet Technologies & Society (ITS), and Applied Management Advances in the 21st Century (AMA21) (Virtual, Dec 14-16, 2022)
A Prolog program consists of a set of facts and rules rather than imperative statements, commonly used in most other programming languages. Therefore, the Prolog language is used to encode logic, from which the inference engine deduces logical conclusions. In this article, we argue that the use of the Prolog language can be useful to help students become familiar with mathematics or more broadly, any problem-solving based discipline.
