HOL Light theorem prover quick-start guide released

This document serves as a quick-start guide for the HOL Light theorem prover, designed to help users overcome the initial intimidation of its comprehensive manual.

The tutorial progresses through propositional logic, equational reasoning, first-order logic, inductive proofs, number theory including Fermat's Little Theorem and RSA encryption, and real analysis.
