Intro to Mathematical Induction

Learning Objectives: Prove a family of claims, indexed by the positive integers, using the idea of induction.

Step 1: Write out the Basis Case
Step 2: Assume true at the kth level. This is the induction assumption.
Step 3: Use the induction assumption to show it is true at the (k+1)th level. This is the induction step.

As a bonus we should Gauss's cute proof that the sum of the numbers 1+2+...+n = n(n+1)/2
