 ===== Proving formulas with uninterpreted functions =====
+==== Congruence closure algorithm ====
+The congruence closure algorithm can be used to proove the correctness of quantifier free formulas by examining congruence closures of the statements in the formula.
+Recall the following properties of the relation **equivalence**:
+  - x = x (everything is equal to itself) (reflexivity)
+  - x = y -> y = x (symmetry)
+  - x = y ∧ y = z -> x = z (transitivity)
+A congruence is an equivalence relationship with the additional property
+  * (x1 = x2 ∧ y1 = y2) -> f(x1, y1) = f(x2, y2)
+  a ≡ b (mod n) is a congruence in respect to addition. Indeed:
+  a ≡ b (mod n) ∧ c ≡ d (mod n) -> a + c ≡ b + d (mod n)

 Equality is a congruence with respect to all function symbols.
