A complete Lean 4 / Mathlib formalization of R. M. Wilson's "Nonisomorphic Steiner triple systems" (inequality (2.1), Theorems 1–4, Lemmas 3–5, including the exact numbers of Latin squares of orders 6, 7 and 8 and the bounds N(19) ≥ 2450, N(21) ≥ 2160980, N(25) ≥ 163929929318400) and of N. Linial and Z. Luria's "An upper bound on the number of Steiner triple systems" (Theorems 1.1 and 1.2 with explicit error terms). Version 2 adds a proof of the van der Waerden permanent theorem (Egorychev, Falikman), following Gurvits's proof as simplified by Laurent and Schrijver. The parts of Wilson's…
