    Professor Leonard, thank you for a basic Introduction to Mathematical Induction. Learning Mathematical Induction is very helpful in Discrete Mathematics, Advanced Calculus, Number Theory, Linear Algebra and future course in Mathematics. Mathematical Induction helps students to write proofs in Advanced Mathematics. Mathematical Induction helps me to fully understand Advanced Calculus.

    Love your videos, and have used them to help prepare me for teaching my own calculus class!
    I do want to mention that you want to be careful about assuming what you are trying to prove. For example, at 19:25 when you start setting 1+5+9+... + (4k-3) + [4(k+1)-3] equal to what you want it to be.
    Instead, best practice would be simply manipulating the first part of your equality until you get it to the point that it looks like what you want to prove. For me, I did it like the following:
    1+5+9+... + (4k-3) + [4(k+1)-3]
    = 2k^2 - k + 4(k+1) - 3
    = 2k^2 - k + 4k + 4 - 3
    = 2k^2 +4k + 2 - k + 2 - 3 (splitting up the +4 here into two instances of +2)
    = (2k^2 +4k + 2) - k - 1 (association property and also simplified 2 - 3 to be -1)
    = 2(k^2 + 2k +1) - k - 1 (factor out the 2 in the grouped terms)
    = 2(k+1)^2 - k - 1 (factored the grouped polynomial)
    = 2(k+1)^2 - (k+1) (factored out a negative in the non-grouped terms)
    and at this point we can conclude that
    1+5+9+... + (4k-3) + [4(k+1)-3] = 2(k+1)^2 - (k+1) by the transitive property, and have proved the theorem by induction.
    thanks again for all your videos, prof!

    Another way to explain it would be subtract the series of n=k terms from the series of n=k+1 terms and the only thing standing is the k+1th term on the left hand side and the difference between the right hand side terms...simplify the right hand side and show the right hand side (differences) equals the k+1th term.

    Great idea, giving a subsequent example after the base case. It drives home the point that the SUM OF the left side at the nth term = formula on the right side with n plugged in.
    For example at n=3, the correct workup is 1+3+5 = 3^2, its NOT 2(3)-1 = 3^2. That's obvious. But at n=1, students might not get the distinction since 2(1)-1 does equal 1^2..... wrong process leads them to a true statement and confusion.

    Question 1
    An education official is interested in the percentage of the adult population over 20 years, in his city, who has read at least one book during the last year. How can he investigate this question using descriptive statistics tools?
    Question 2
    A social researcher is interested in the number of children in the households of City A that receive welfare. He does not have funding for a census nor access to official city records. How can the researcher accomplish his task using descriptive statistics tools?
    Question 3
    In an organization, most of the employees earn at the lower end of the salary scale.State a chart you would use to illustrate the salary data. Describe this salary chart using the appropriate statistical terminology. If Maya, a potential employee, is seeking general information about the company salary scale, what statistical information would you give her and why?
    Question 4
    A quality engineer is curious about the thickness of the paint on the Model A cars produced by her company. Explain how she can obtain a reliable measure of the thickness of the paint, stating clearly the characteristics of the variable she should use.
