You’re doing theorem proving in all cases where you handle errors or exceptions in non-trivial fashion. Same when you’re implementing any kind of authz. When dealing with async code or threads, you’d better be good at your invariants. This is all discrete maths. Yes I don’t differentiate continuous functions at work but let me tell you juggling multiple condition scenarios when integrating multiple inputs with multiple systems is damn close to working with logic proofs.
