Mathematical Induction PART 1

What is *mathematical* Induction ?

~ A special way of proving things

~ A means of proving a theorem by showing that if it is true of any particular case it is true of the next case in a series, and then showing that it is indeed true in one particular case

What is the step to of proving this ?

Show it is true for the first one

2.Show that if any one is true then the next one is true

(the thorough steps will be written in PART 2 )

Mathematical Induction is just like DOMINO EFFECT

The first domino falls

Ｔhe next domino falls　，　the others domino will falls too until the last one !

So ... all dominos will fall!!!!!

That is how Mathematical Induction works.

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.
