Assume that the numbers 1 and 7 indicate a summation of vectors, whose starting and ending points are same in both summations. Using the vector theorem, if you start the vectors from the end point of the nose of the number 1 until its foot, you get the summed vector that looks more or less like this - _\_ Again, use vector theorem for the number 7 taking the direction starting from its nose to its foot. We see that the sum is _\_ Both are facing the same direction. If the nose of number 1 is tilted downwards, the length may not be the same between both 1 and 7. However if its straight maybe we can then say its equal. Here we proved that 1 = 7, or _\_ = _\_ , which also means 1 || 7.
What you define as a "proof by contradiction" is typically known as a "proof by contra-positive", from formal logic if A -> B then it must also be true that ~B -> ~A. Usually a "proof by contradiction" is when we need to prove A->B so we assume (A wedge ~B) and reach a contradiction (a statement that is always false like (C wedge ~C), and thus A->B is proven.
Ah true, we did actually call this "proof by contra-positive" the same thing at uni but i see what you mean. But i guess then this negation of an implication is what i wanted to teach here anyways, just gave it a bit of a wrong name. Thanks for paying such close attention to detail!

Echoing other commenters, the "proof by contradiction" you showed is actually a "proof by contrapositive." That said, proof by contrapositive is often very helpful. I almost always start with some direct approach, and if that's too difficult, I'll look at the contrapositive. If I get lucky and the contrapositive is easier, I'll write that out, then rewrite it as a direct proof to make it look "cleaner." Aside: Something that's often overlooked is how much reading proofs improves your proof writing skills. I can't count how many problems I've solved by just applying the overall structure/approach someone else used.
As a novice math hobbyist, I find that there are some ideas that don’t seem to be readily summed up in these symbols, Are there more which exist or is there a particular method to combine symbols to create new meanings?
im not sure how accurate my portrayal of the proofs are but if youre intrigued i can definitely recommend it, especially with analysis topics the approach tends to give you a much deeper understanding for whats actually going on
Nice Video, I think this explains. I'm a Computer Science Student, I already went through this. Proof by Contradiction is bitch, because it's unintuitive. I hoped you would go s bit more into the detail, because I struggled a lot with this. As far as I understand it know, we want the statement to be true. That's why we can say that if the result is wrong, the condition must also be wrong. It's like a second hidden layer most people say nothing about. Same thing about statements without any quantifier.
Thanks for the feedback! And also yeah for implications specifically it might be helpful to review the truth table (which i probably should also have covered in this video now that i think about it) for that operator specifically, then it should make sense why we want both the result and the condition to be wrong.
Eh its like assuming that something you want to be true isnt and then showing that leads to an absurdity. Eg: Not INF many primes, ie can be expressed as {p1, p2, ... pn} What about some val k = p1*p2*p3...*pn + 1. This is clearly larger than any element in our set of primes; so it would be composite. By fundamental theorem of arithmetic, it can be written as a product of primes, since it is not prime itself, but composite. Take any one of those nums from that set of primes, and divide our k value by it; it should be fine. But it's not, because we are adding 1/(some prime >= 2). So our k should be able to be divided by a prime, but it isn't. This is absurd, so the set of primes we claimed actually isn't all of the primes. (Here Euclid made k bigger than all of the primes by multiplying them, and adding the 1 to set it up so it wouldnt divide evenly, as the smallest prime is 2). I have also seen this a lot with Well ordering principle. My god, that principle was abused the hell out of in the first half of this quarter and ik i still need to remember the proofs for the final too. Bezout's said: ax + by = min{ax' + by' E N: x', y' E Z} and we could show there is a min by making x' = a, y' = b, = a^2 + b^2 which is > 0, since when doing the gcd(a, b) [which is what youre proving in bezouts], at least one of a or b is nonzero. Then we have this ax + by and set up an inequality with gcd(a, b) one way by using the definition of gcd(a, b), and an inequality with the division algo. In the division algo part, you end up getting some "r" value from the bq+r that *would* be the new min element of the set we defined. But we already defined ax+by as the min element, so this r cannot exist in N. Hence, it = 0. [This is just a layout of it. I liked watching learnifyable for these proofs] Div algo proof itself used this idea also when assuming for sake of contradiction that r >= b, so r - b >= 0, but this would be min element. and for showing uniqueness. Oh yeah or irrationals: assume rationality, show impossible. Ie, sqrt(2) = a/b, a, b E Z, and b != 0. Then doing some ops: 2b^2 = a^2. Well since square numbers are only div by 2 if they are even, then a is even. 2b^2 = (2k)^2, k E Z 2b^2 = 4k^2 b^2 = 2k^2. Now we have the same thing, and can do that rule to b. But that's kinda crazy, is it not? we can keep expressing it in terms of 2*itself? We keep on dividing the numbers in question by 2, essentially, like how we said a = 2k, so k = a/2. This is crazy, at some point if we keep dividing by 2, we will not have an integer, then the equality could no longer hold true. This is also known as a disproof "By infinite descent". I know it because the name is hella cool. TLDR: Unlikely u will come up with these early on yourself. as you learn, it is better to see examples than to struggle through with it yourself. All skills require some degree of memory.

As others pointed out you showcase proof by contrapositive instead of by contradiction If you want to prove A=>B, this statement is equivalent to not B => not A The negation of A=>B is "A and not B", proof by contradiction takes those and leads it to a contradiction such as x=/=x, 1=0,... A lot of proofs for implications by contradiction can be easily turned into proofs by contrapositive since many do not use both A and not B in their deductions, only using not B and the contradiction being "since we assumed A and got not A we have a contradiction" This only really matters for philosophical reasons about validity of the law of the excluded middle and the fact that we are assuming math is consistent, but that is the kind of nitpicky math stuff I personally love
1:45 "... [an AND expression] evaluates to true..." This is, in my mind, where type theory/constructive logic separates from classical logic: `and` doesn't "evaluate" to anything, but it *is* **proven** when both inputs are proven. (Note, I'm not saying you're wrong -- you're absolutely correct in the classical context --, but I'm highlighting a difference between the classical framework, and a constructive one)
Great video! However, a few nitpicks. I think someone mentioned that the "Proof of Contradiction" you talked about is actually Proof by Contrapositive. I do think that the entire section on implications is a bit messy. For example, its confusing to call the contrapositive as the "negation of the implication", as well as the visuals seemingly implying that as well (i.e. both "Condition → ~Result" and "~Result → ~Condition") The connection between if-and-only-if part and implications might be misleading as well. The implications you showed in the video are statements in the object logic, whereas the iff-definitions are in the metalogic. Finally, I do think bringing up negation would be helpful, especially during the latter half. It ubiquitous everywhere, even moreso than "and" and "or".
i agree the whole thing about the names of different parts of an implivation even got myself confused while i was making the video, should have made that clearer. i dont think the different usages of if only if would be that confusing to a beginner since it wouldnt really matter to them in the first place and i was thinking about also including negations somewhere but it honestly felt a bit too intuitive for me to specifically talk about them, maybe thats not the case but lets see what other people think as well thanks a lot for taking the time to write down mistakes/things to improve like these, ill take everything into consideration and i really appreciate it!
8:18 You didn't actually prove the statement is true for all n greater than or equal to 0, since when is between 2 and 4 we get false results. For example 2^2>2^2 is false; 2^3>3^2 is false; 2^4>4^2 is also false.
@NibberPancake || @0prcent The statement 2ⁿ > n² ⇒ n ≥ 0 means that if 2ⁿ > n² then n must be positive, not that if n is positive then 2ⁿ > n². A mistake was still made though. He said that 2ⁿ > n² ⇒ n ≥ 0 which is false. This is because 2ⁿ > n² is true at n ∈ (-0.76666469..., 2) ∪ (4,∞), this includes all negative numbers within (-0.76666469...,0). His mistake was assuming that n < 0 ⇒ n² > 1 instead of n < 0 ⇒ n² > 0. You can visually see this in Desmos by draphing n² and 2ⁿ and seing where the curve of 2ⁿ is above that of n², typing 2ⁿ > n² will show you directly.

There are some things i didnt cover here but as a next step it would probably be best to take a look at some actual proofs (my recommendation would be proof-based book tackling a beginner area of mathematics, i started with analysis back then). I could do another video about advanced proof techniques/tricks but my next video will most likely be about something very different and after getting the basics of proofs down, usually the hardest part is just having an idea
Only because the statement does not work for some negative numbers, it doesn't immediately imply that it is wrong. I don't get why this "proof" should be enough. Btw. n^2>=1 is not true for all negative numbers.
What would be point of math if AI or some else technology will write proofs itself like an oracle or omniscient god? It's kinda math philosophy question because all history humanity lived in some math deficit of proved knowledge even if we had many proved things we always have something to proof
my biggest issue with proofs is no one bothers to spell out exactly what they are doing explicitly. too often relying on muh context and muh read my mind. i like programming because you have no choice but to spell out explicitly every minutia of your intended meaning. if only the math world could catch up but it is too bogged down by natural language explanations.
i know exactly what you mean, i also come from a programming background and the biggest thing im missing in maths is descriptive variable names. in lots of longer proofs its impossible to track all of the A,B,C,D,x,y,z and 10 different greek letters all being used in conjunction.

Imagine being a first year student playing that game adam.math.hhu.de/#/g/leanprover-community/nng4
Can you teach us how to proof more advanced topics in mathematics too?
There are some things i didnt cover here but as a next step it would probably be best to take a look at some actual
proofs (my recommendation would be proof-based book tackling a beginner area of mathematics, i started with analysis back then). I could do another video about advanced proof techniques/tricks but my next video will most likely be about something very different and after getting the basics of proofs down, usually the hardest part is just having an idea
proof: I made it up
cool vid btw
thx!
proof: it was revealed to me in a dream
How to prove anything:
step one: assume 1 = 2
I have the prooof for the Riemann Hypothesis but there is not enoigh space in the comment to write it.
How to prove anything that can be proven (in mathematics)
I really like your video.
But the part from 7:00 is is hard to understand.
thanks, why was the last part hard to understand?
Did you know that 1+1 = 1. ?
In bools algebra that is.
Error in your presentation at 2:20 - 2:23 the voice says "If A and B are true" but the associated image displays A or B, not A AND B.
0:58 0:59 1something
As an autodidact, this is a pretty good explanation.
👍
I'm a fourth grade mathematics olympiad😅
Only because the statement does not work for some negative numbers, it doesn't immediately imply that it is wrong. I don't get why this "proof" should be enough. Btw. n^2>=1 is not true for all negative numbers.
remember, n is always an integer
Persona 5 ost mentioned ‼️🗣️🔊
truly the ost of all time.
What would be point of math if AI or some else technology will write proofs itself like an oracle or omniscient god? It's kinda math philosophy question because all history humanity lived in some math deficit of proved knowledge even if we had many proved things we always have something to proof
I don’t have to do math
Well if i learned anything it definitely proved that I'm a moron and a dumbass. Since i didn't understand a thing despite watching it 3 times
my biggest issue with proofs is no one bothers to spell out exactly what they are doing explicitly. too often relying on muh context and muh read my mind. i like programming because you have no choice but to spell out explicitly every minutia of your intended meaning. if only the math world could catch up but it is too bogged down by natural language explanations.
i like what languages like coq and agda are going.
i know exactly what you mean, i also come from a programming background and the biggest thing im missing in maths is descriptive variable names. in lots of longer proofs its impossible to track all of the A,B,C,D,x,y,z and 10 different greek letters all being used in conjunction.
👌
Man this isn’t gonna help with my prep for Real Analysis
I follow these rules, and still the highest grade I can get in my discrete math class is a C. Wtf am I doing wrong
looots and lots of practice. watching youtube videos like these is only gonna get you so far but practice is absolutely everything. all the best!
…and YT decided to shadowhammer my comment
(and it seems this one got too)
