The Cylindrical Algebraic Decomposition (CAD in short) is a fundamental tool of semi-algebraic geometry. It is a doubly- exponential time algorithm that enables most famously to eliminate quantifiers from a formula in the theory of real closed fields. In particular, it allows to decide the satisfiability of problems involving sets of comparisons between polyno- mials. The present article describes the first formalization of a correctness proof of this algorithm in a proof assistant.
