No, not really. The wikipedia page of Maude has a good explanation of what it is like: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maude_system. You can also see the Maude book if you're interested [1].

I'm a bit out of my league here, but how does Maude compare to say Idris?

I remember dabbling with Pure, which used term rewriting, and lent itself to expressing mathematical equations in a familiar format, but it was not a prover.

I downloaded the PDF for Maude, and I will certainly take a look in the meantime. My interests are solely for learning, and I thought using something like Idris to work my way through Sussman's Structure and Interpretation of Classical Mechanics, might drive it home for me in ways that my physics classes didn't.
