Mathematical induction is a method of mathematical proof typically used to establish that a given statement is true of all natural numbers. The method can be extended to prove statements about more ...

Let us assume what most mathematical readers would take for granted anyway: There are mathematical objects such as numbers and functions and there are objective facts about these objects, such as 3 < ...

Computer-assisted of mathematical proofs are not new. For example, computers were used to confirm the so-called 'four color theorem.' In a short release, 'Proof by computer,' the American Mathematical ...
