The post covers Z3 examples including mathematical property proofs and array optimization, with behind-the-scenes notes on design decisions like handling division-by-zero, quantifiers in SMT, and a failed attempt to encode Goldbach's conjecture. Wayne also discusses the concept of 'chaff' — the large volume of material cut from the book — and considers repurposing some of it as public content. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
