[edit] Contact Me

I'm on the local email as prime.mover@proofwiki.org so drop us a line when you want.

Or you can leave a message on my talk page.

But please answer this question first:

b4i \sqrt u \frac {ru} {16}


You might also catch me asking (but usually answering) questions on Math Help Forum which I sometimes haunt when ProofWiki's down.

I made a start on:

  • Propositional Logic
  • Naive Set Theory

[edit] Proof by Mathematical Induction

Proof by induction:

For all n \in \N^*, let P \left({n}\right) be the proposition:

proposition_n.


P(1) is true, as this just says proposition_1.


[edit] Basis for the Induction

P(2) is the case proposition_2, which has been proved above. This is our basis for the induction.


[edit] Induction Hypothesis

Now we need to show that, if P \left({k}\right) is true, where k \ge 2, then it logically follows that P \left({k+1}\right) is true.


So this is our induction hypothesis:

proposition_k.


Then we need to show:

proposition_{k+1}.


[edit] Induction Step

This is our induction step:

=                    
\implies =                    

So P \left({k}\right) \implies P \left({k+1}\right) and the result follows by the Principle of Mathematical Induction.


Therefore:

proposition_n
