     \medskip The calculational proof style above follows typical
     presentations given in any introductory course on algebra.  The basic
     technique is to form a transitive chain of equations, which in turn
     are established by simplifying with appropriate rules.  The low-level
     logical details of equational reasoning are left implicit.

     Note that ``$\dots$'' is just a special term variable that is bound
     automatically to the argument\footnote{The argument of a curried
     infix expression happens to be its right-hand side.} of the last fact
     achieved by any local assumption or proven statement.  In contrast to
     $\var{thesis}$, the ``$\dots$'' variable is bound \emph{after} the
     proof is finished, though.

     There are only two separate Isar language elements for calculational
     proofs: ``\isakeyword{also}'' for initial or intermediate
     calculational steps, and ``\isakeyword{finally}'' for exhibiting the
     result of a calculation.  These constructs are not hardwired into
     Isabelle/Isar, but defined on top of the basic Isar/VM interpreter.
     Expanding the \isakeyword{also} and \isakeyword{finally} derived
     language elements, calculations may be simulated by hand as
     demonstrated below.

    text {*
     Note that this scheme of calculations is not restricted to plain
     transitivity.  Rules like anti-symmetry, or even forward and backward
     substitution work as well.  For the actual implementation of
     \isacommand{also} and \isacommand{finally}, Isabelle/Isar maintains
     separate context information of ``transitivity'' rules.  Rule
     selection takes place automatically by higher-order unification.

    subsection {* Groups as monoids *}

     \idt{one} :: \alpha)$ are defined like this.

    text {*
     Groups are \emph{not} yet monoids directly from the definition.  For
     monoids, \name{right-one} had to be included as an axiom, but for
     groups both \name{right-one} and \name{right-inverse} are derivable
     from the other axioms.  With \name{group-right-one} derived as a
     theorem of group theory (see page~\pageref{thm:group-right-one}), we
     may still instantiate $\idt{group} \subseteq \idt{monoid}$ properly
     as follows.

    text {*
     The \isacommand{instance} command actually is a version of
     \isacommand{theorem}, setting up a goal that reflects the intended
     class relation (or type constructor arity).  Thus any Isar proof
     language element may be involved to establish this statement.  When
     concluding the proof, the result is transformed into the intended
     type signature extension behind the scenes.
