The Isabelle/HOL interactive theorem prover has multiple frameworks for formalising abstract algebra: one library which relies on typeclasses, and another, better suited to formalising algebra, which makes no use of them. In this talk, we discuss the experience of formalising material in real algebraic geometry – real closed fields, Thom encoding and Puiseux series – in the latter framework. We explore the strengths and weaknesses of the available automation, as well as the feasibility of transferring results from one library to the other.
