Mathematical induction is a method used to prove statements about natural numbers. It establishes that if a statement holds for the base case (usually the smallest number) and can be shown to hold for
𝑛+1 assuming it holds for 𝑛, then the statement is true for all natural numbers. This technique is fundamental for establishing the validity of many propositions in number theory and combinatorics.
